Desmond DeChone Figgins (/ˈʃɒn/; SHAWN; born January 22, 1978), nicknamed "Figgy",[1] is an American former professional baseball third baseman and outfielder.

[2] Figgins made his major league debut as a pinch runner on August 25, 2002, against the Boston Red Sox.

[5] Against the Oakland Athletics on September 29, 2006, he hit his first career inside-the-park home run at Angel Stadium.

Although he was initially considered for the center field job in 2006, the Angels decided to move Darin Erstad back to the position.

On March 21, 2007, in a spring training game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Figgins suffered two broken fingers on his throwing hand while attempting to field a ground ball hit by Conor Jackson.

On July 15, 2007, Figgins stole his 187th base as an Angel, breaking the 20-year-old club record previously held by Gary Pettis, who was in attendance that day as a coach for the visiting Texas Rangers.

[9] On December 4, 2009, it was reported that Figgins and the Seattle Mariners agreed to a four-year contract worth approximately $36 million.

[10] During spring training for the 2010 season, Figgins was converted to second base, moving teammate Jose Lopez to third.

Figgins had his worst year to date in 2010, batting just .259, though he did match his previous season stolen base total of 42.

[13] After sitting out the 2013 season, Figgins signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers for 2014.

[3] He was placed on the disabled list in mid-June with a hip injury and then spent an extended time with the AAA Albuquerque Isotopes on a rehab assignment.
