Trevor Patrick Plouffe (/pluːf/ PLOOF; born June 15, 1986) is an American media personality and former professional baseball third baseman.

He previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics, Tampa Bay Rays, and Philadelphia Phillies.

After beginning his MLB career as a shortstop for the Twins in 2010, Plouffe has appeared at every position except for pitcher, catcher, and center fielder.

Born in Los Angeles, Plouffe attended Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, the alma mater of former major leaguers Jeff Suppan and Rick Dempsey.

As a star shortstop and right-handed pitcher, Plouffe led Crespi to their first section baseball championship in 2003 as a junior[1] and also held a 3.85 GPA.

In 2006, Plouffe played for the Class A-Advanced Fort Myers Miracle of the Florida State League, batting .246/.333/.347.

[4] Plouffe split the 2008 season between the Rock Cats and Triple-A Rochester Red Wings, where he hit a combined .262/.308/.415 with nine home runs and 60 RBIs.

After starting the 2010 season with Rochester, he was called up to the Twins on May 20, replacing pitcher Jeff Manship on the 25-man roster.

That day, he started at shortstop against the Boston Red Sox, and in his first at bat hit a home run over the Green Monster off of Tim Wakefield.

After starting the 2012 season poorly, Plouffe embarked on a power surge at mid-season, hitting 11 home runs in the month of June.

On July 24, Plouffe hit a walk-off home run off Los Angeles Dodgers' second baseman Enrique Hernández in the bottom of the 16th to give the Phillies a 7–4 win in a game that took just over 6 hours to complete (the game ended at around 1 am local time).
