Desmond DeChone Figgins (/ˈʃɒn/; SHAWN; born January 22, 1978), nicknamed "Figgy", is an American former professional baseball utilty player. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Seattle Mariners, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Figgins debuted with the Angels in 2002, winning the World Series that fall while serving exclusively as a pinch runner. He led the American League in stolen bases in 2005 and was an All-Star in 2009, also leading the American League in walks. That winter, he signed a four-year contract with the Mariners. However, Seattle released him after three years. He briefly returned to the majors with the Dodgers in 2014.
Figgins played primarily third base during his best seasons with the Angels, but played all positions except catcher, pitcher, and first base. He played regularly in center field early in his MLB career and was primarily a second baseman with Seattle.
Early life
Figgins was born in Leary, Georgia to Charles Figgins and Eva Callins, who had been born on the same day and lived next door to each other in Leary. When Figgins was a year old, his father moved the family to Brandon, Florida. Both of his parents played competitive slow-pitch softball and were avid baseball fans. He attended Brandon High School where he played only shortstop.
