Mac Suzuki Comes Back As CWL Instructor
Published on November 2, 2011 by California Winter League · No Comments
Mac comes to the CWL from Japan, where he is the owner of a lower level independent baseball team. He is currently in negotiations to work for a higher level baseball team in Japan which could potentially lead to the ability to sign guys to fill the roster. Mac was the first Japanese player to enter the major leagues without having first played in the Japanese professional leagues. In 1993 Suzuki signed with the Seattle Mariners and was promoted to the majors in 1995. He made his major league pitching debut on July 7, 1996. His debut cast him as only the third Japanese player to play in the major leagues and the first Japanese player to pitch in the American League. Suzuki went on to play for the New York Mets, Kansas City Royals (where he won 8 games in 2000 including a shut-out), the Colorado Rockies and the Milwaukee Brewers before deciding at the end of the 2002 season to enter the Japanese professional leagues. He came back to the US in 2005 where he played in the minor league systems for the Cubs and A’s.
