Samuel John Travis (born August 27, 1993) is an American professional baseball first baseman who is a free agent. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Boston Red Sox. Listed at 6 feet 0 inches (1.83 m) and 205 pounds (93 kg), he bats and throws right-handed. Travis made his MLB debut in 2017. He is one of only a few players in MLB not to wear batting gloves.

Amateur career
Travis attended Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, Illinois, and Indiana University. Travis pursued a degree in general studies. In his third season with the Indiana Hoosiers, Travis earned the 2013 Big Ten Most Outstanding Player of the Year honors after hitting a slash line of .347/.415/.576 in 59 games, including 16 doubles, two triples and 12 home runs, while scoring 55 times and driving in 58 runs, the most in the Big Ten Conference.

Travis also played for the Yarmouth–Dennis Red Sox in the Cape Cod Baseball League after claiming Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Year honors in the summer of 2012, when he finished with a sixth-best average of .339 and seventh-best OBP of .415, while adding 12 doubles, four homers and 35 RBIs. A Cape League All-Star, he was named to the All-League team at the end of the summer. Additionally, he won the Chicago Tribune Illinois Player of the Year distinction in 2011 and was on United States national baseball team in 2013.

In his college tenure, Travis had a walk-to-strikeout ratio of 93 walks and 94 strikeouts in 721 plate appearances (7.67 PA/SO).
