In MLB, he appeared in 318 games played, 316 of them with the Houston Astros. Pankovits is currently the manager of the Lynchburg Hillcats, the High-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians.

During his six-year Major League career (1984–88; 1990), Pankovits was used primarily as a pinch hitter and occasional second baseman. In one instance, he even caught an inning of a {{Baseball year|1986}} game . In his career, he hit .250 with nine home runs and 55 RBI. His best season came in {{baseball year|1986}} as a member of the National League West Division champion Astros, when he hit .283 in 70 games as the primary back up to Bill Doran. Late in his playing career, Pankovits appeared in two games for the Boston Red Sox in September {{baseball year|1990}} as defensive replacement—without logging a plate appearance—then began his managing career in the Red Sox' farm system in 1992. He returned to the Astro organization in 1995, serving through 2010 as a minor league manager at the Class A, Short Season-A and Double-A levels, and as a roving infield instructor. He then joined the Mariners' system in 2011 as manager of the Double-A Jackson, Tennessee, Generals of the Southern League. Coincidentally, he had managed a different franchise with the same name—the Jackson, Mississippi, Generals of the Double-A Texas League—in 1998–99 when it was an Astro affiliate. After three seasons (2011–13) as Jackson's pilot, Pankovits assumed a position with the Mariners in {{baseball year|2014}} as a roving minor league infield instructor.

The brain child of then-general manager Tim Purpura, PANKOVITS is an acronym for Player Analysis with Neutral Knowledge of Offensively Vital Information Tracking Statistics. It is credited in some circles with predicting the success of Hunter Pence and the failure of Woody Williams during the 2007 season.[2] References1. ^[https://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=pankov001jam Baseball Reference (minors)] 2. ^"They Swing Their SABRs."
