Jason Jerome Ellison (born April 4, 1978) is an American former Major League Baseball outfielder. He attended Lewis-Clark State in Lewiston, Idaho, and made his major league debut on May 9, 2003. As of the 2015 season, he was an area scout for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim based in Issaquah, Washington.[1]

Ellison became one of the more recognizable bench players in the major leagues because he was frequently brought in to pinch run for Barry Bonds. In 2005, Ellison played center field for all games until the trading deadline, when the Giants acquired Randy Winn and Ellison lost his starting job.
