Biographical Information

Todd Mayo played in the minor leagues and for the USA national baseball team.

Mayo represented the USA in the 1987 Intercontinental Cup, winning a Silver Medal. He was All-Pac-10 Conference in 1987, 1988 and 1989, and helped lead his team to the 1988 College World Series. He was among the California career leaders in hits (286), runs (204), triples (12), walks (150), steals (100) and total bases (359) en route to the school's Hall of Fame. The Montreal Expos picked him in the 32nd round of the 1989 Amateur Draft, and he hit .303/.404/.412 in 68 games for the Jamestown Expos in his first season. He just missed the New York-Penn League top-ten in average (.001 behind Chris Butterfield), was 5th in OBP, had the 3rd-most runs (55), tied Chris Ebright for 8th in walks (37) and was 3rd with 37 steals (in 46 tries), behind only Pat Howell and Rich Barnwell. He was named an All-Star outfielder alongside Sherman Obando, Brian Cornelius and Jeff Goodale. He recorded a .261/.360/.283 batting line in 108 games for the West Palm Beach Expos in 1990 with his steal rate inexplicably plummeting (9 SB, 13 CS), and he played 80 games with a .250/.364/.277 batting line in 1991. Mayo was 9-for-35 that season for Harrisburg Senators, but he only got one hit in 12 at-bats in 1992 and his professional career ended. He had batted .266/.373/.311 in 278 games as a pro, with 162 runs, 71 steals in 101 tries and 144 walks while only striking out 89 times.
