[edit] Biography

Jayson Werth (Jayson Richard Gowan Werth) was born on May 20, 1979 in Springfield, Illinois. He made his Major League debut on September 1, 2002 for the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2004, his rookie year, he hit .262 with 16 home runs and 47 RBI. Werth played for the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers over the course of his 4 year career.

Most people believe that Jayson Werth's best season was 2004, when he slugged 16 home runs.

Werth's baseball talents first gained attention while attending Glenwood High School in Chatham, Illinois, where he compiled a .652 batting average in his senior year with 15 home runs in 31 games. He initially planned on playing college ball at the University of Georgia, but abandoned that plan when he was drafted in the first round by Major League Baseball's Baltimore Orioles on June 13, 1997. Prior to making his Major League debut, the Orioles traded Werth to the Toronto Blue Jays for pitcher John Bale. Werth broke into the major leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2002. On March 29, 2004, Werth was then traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Jason Frasor after compiling two seasons in Toronto.
