He attended high school in Kansas City, and in the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft, the Seattle Mariners drafted him out of high school (28th overall). However, he chose not to sign, instead attending Stanford, where he played three years before being drafted again. He also played for the United States national baseball team at the World University Baseball Championship in 2004. The Texas Rangers selected him in the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft (19th overall). He played for the Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets.Mayberry ascended through the Rangers' minor league system, ultimately reaching Triple-A level, by which point he was considered a legitimate major league prospect. In 2007, he began to amass strong power numbers in the minor leagues, and on November 20, 2008, the Philadelphia Phillies acquired him. With the Phillies, he started in Triple-A, but was called up to the major league team in May. He hit a home run in his major league debut, but was sent back to the minors a few weeks later, and spent the majority of the 2009 and 2010 seasons there. He returned to the major league squad in 2010 as a September callup, and has remained there since, absent a short stint in Triple-A in 2011. In 2011, Mayberry played over 100 games, splitting time between outfield and first base, as well as pinch hitting. Statistically, 2011 was his best major league season. He remained with the big-league club in 2012, and played predominantly in left field early in the season, and subsequently as the team's everyday center fielder following the departure of Shane Victorino via trade. In 2012 and 2013 his performance declined, specifically in terms of batting average.Mayberry has been used predominantly as a starting outfielder, despite some suggesting he is better suited as a platoon player. As a hitter, he hits for power relatively well, but strikes out frequently. He is a good athlete, and thus has good speed, however does not steal many bases. Defensively, he is "adequate", and possesses a relatively strong and accurate arm. Mayberry has a degree in political science from Stanford. His father, John Mayberry, Sr., played in the major leagues for over a decade."@en }
