Rather than toil in the minors, Nomar Mazara went to work with a private hitting coach in his journey back to the majors with the Padres
, and has a .356 on-base percentage and .789 OPS to show for it. Signed out of the Dominican Republic when he was 16 years old, Mazara made his major league debut with the Texas Rangers when he was only 20, and is now in his seventh year in the big leagues. After four years with the Rangers, he had underwhelming stints with the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers and last season opted to work with a hitting coach in Miami rather than play another year in the minors.
Everything. I was in Iowa. I played three games in Triple-A that year. I raked in spring training. And they didn’t want to send me down. But they had ShinSoo Choo making $20 million a year in right field. So I understood. They told me, ‘Hey, you have a guy making $20 million in front of you. I have coaches fighting for you, but there’s nothing we can do about it.’ I went down to Triple-A and I forgot about the big leagues. I thought I was gonna be there the whole year.
