Trea Turner

Trea Vance Turner (born June 30, 1993) is an American professional baseball shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Washington Nationals. He played college baseball at North Carolina State. The San Diego Padres selected Turner in the first round of the 2014 Major League Baseball draft and traded him to the Nationals in 2015. Developed by the Padres and Nationals primarily as a shortstop, Turner broke into the major leagues in the 2016 season as Washington's starting center fielder, before returning to what he considers his "natural position" as the Nationals shortstop starting in the 2017 season. He has also made a handful of major league appearances at second base. He is one of the fastest runners in Major League Baseball, having been clocked at a speed of 22.7 miles per hour (36.5 km/h) at least twice in 2016. On June 30, 2021, Turner hit for the cycle for the third time, tying the MLB record for most cycles in a career.
