Jason C. Knapp (born August 31, 1990) is a professional baseball pitcher.
Knapp attended North Hunterdon High School.[1] The Philadelphia Phillies drafted Knapp in the second round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft. He quickly became a top prospect in the Phillies organization.[2] In 2009, he was traded to the Cleveland Indians along with Carlos Carrasco, Lou Marson and Jason Donald for Cliff Lee and Ben Francisco. The Indians considered Knapp the key to the deal, and would not trade Lee without receiving Knapp.[3][4]
Coming into the 2010 season, Knapp was rated the 64th best prospect in baseball by Baseball America. However he missed the 2011 season due to injury. The Indians released Knapp in 2012.[4][5]
