John Mizerock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Joseph Mizerock (born December 8, 1960 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania) was a backup catcher for the Houston Astros and the Atlanta Braves. He was the eighth overall pick in the 1979 draft.

After retiring from playing, he became a manager in the minor leagues and a coach with the Kansas City Royals. He managed rookie league in Eugene, Oregon (1993), Class A Rockford (1994), Class A Wilmington (1995-97) and Double-AA Wichita (1999). He won league titles at Wilmington in 1996 and at Wichita in 1999, and was Midwest League Manager of the Year in 1994, Carolina League Manager of the Year in 1995 and Minor League Manager of the Year in 1999. He compiled 646 wins and 554 losses in his minor league managerial career. In 2002, he was named interim manager when Tony Muser was fired. He had a 5-8 record in 13 games before being replaced by Tony Peña. 2002 was the first time in franchise history that Kansas City had lost 100 games. He remained as third base coach for the Royals until the end of 2005, when he was assigned to be a roving instructor for the organization. Despite his extensive experience managing at the minor league and major league level, he accepted a position to manage at the low level Class A Wilmington minor league team for the 2007 season.[citation needed]
