Ryan John "Rowdy" Tellez (/t ɛ ˈ l ɛ z / teh-LEHZ ) born March 16, 1995) is an American professional baseball first baseman and designated hitter for the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Over his first three career games, Tellez hit six doubles, becoming the first Major League player since 1913 to do so. His six doubles represented the first time in the live-ball era that a Major League player debuted with three consecutive doubles, were the first time since Joe DiMaggio in 1936 that an American League rookie hit six doubles in a three-game span, and tied the record set by Chris Dickerson in 2008 for the most extra-base hits in a player's first three games. Tellez then became the only player since 1913 to hit seven doubles in his first seven major league games. In his first 40 plate appearances he had 10 extra base hits, tying former catcher Taylor Teagarden for the most by any ballplayer since 1913. For the 2018 season, he batted .314/.329/.614 with 9 doubles, 4 home runs, and 14 RBIs in 70 at bats.
