[edit] High School Years
Repko attended Hanford High School in Richland, Washington and was a letterman in baseball. In baseball, as a senior, he posted a .581 batting average and 14 stolen bases. Gaining notice by the majors for his abilities, Repko skipped the graduation ceremony of the class of 1999 to begin training with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
[edit] Pro career
He made his MLB debut on April 6, 2005. He has been largely ineffective as a hitter, posting a career.684 OPS. After getting off to a fast start in 2005, he slumped badly and finished with a disappointing .665 OPS in 129 games.
In 2006 he was off to a fast start, but suffered a high ankle sprain and missed 2 1/2 months, returning to the Dodgers July 24. Repko never received much playing time after returning, buried behind the outfield rotation of J.D. Drew, Kenny Lofton, Andre Ethier, Marlon Anderson, and Matt Kemp.
[edit] Personal life
Jason Repko is happily married.
