From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jonathan David Knott (born August 4, 1978 in Manassas, Virginia) is a minor league outfielder for the Baltimore Orioles.

Knott, after graduating from Mississippi State University, was signed as an amateur free agent in 2001 to the San Diego Padres. He made his major league debut on May 30, 2004. Knott was not offered a contract by the Padres on December 6, 2006 and he became a free agent. He chose to sign a minor-league contract with the Orioles two weeks later.

In 2006, Knott won the home run and RBI titles in the Pacific Coast League with 32 and 113 respectively. Knott is the first Portland Beavers player to top the PCL in home runs since 1991 and he is the first Portland batter to win the RBI title in the league’s modern era.
