}}

Miguel Angel Rojas (born April 17, 1963, in Miami, Florida) is an American former professional baseball player and current manager for Northwest Arkansas Naturals of the Double-A Texas League[1] and the Leones del Caracas of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League.

Career

Rojas is the son of former MLB second baseman, coach, manager and scout Octavio "Cookie" Rojas, still in baseball as a television analyst on the Miami Marlins' Spanish network. His brother Victor is the TV play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Angels.

Mike Rojas is a former catcher who played in the Oakland Athletics and Toronto Blue Jays farm systems during the 1980s. His Baseball-Reference page[2] lists him as playing only in 1983–1984, but his mlb.com biography credits him with four years of minor league service, through 1986.[3] He threw and batted right-handed, stood {{convert|6|ft|2|in}} tall and weighed {{convert|185|lb}} as an active player. rom 1987–1991, he coached in the college ranks as an assistant with St. Thomas University (Florida).[3]

After managing in the farm systems of the Cincinnati Reds, Houston Astros and Chicago White Sox, Rojas joined the Detroit Tigers' organization in {{by|2004}}. He piloted teams at the Short Season-A, Class A and Triple-A levels. He skippered the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens in {{mlby|2007}}, the first of his two, one-year stints in that job, and led the club to an 82–61 win-loss record and a playoff berth. However, Toledo was eliminated in the first round by the Durham Bulls. Rojas then became field coordinator for the Detroit farm system in 2008 and, later, director of player development.

He was named Detroit's MLB bullpen coach on July 3, 2011,[4] when his predecessor, Jeff Jones, was promoted to Detroit's pitching coach position. Working under manager Jim Leyland, he served in that post until the end of the {{by|2013}} season.

When Leyland retired, Rojas followed coaching colleague Lloyd McClendon to the Seattle Mariners, serving as the Mariners' bullpen coach in {{by|2014}} and {{by|2015}}.[5]

On November 3, 2016, Rojas was named the manager of the Toledo Mud Hens for the second time.[6] In {{mlby|2017}}, a decade after his original Toledo assignment, he managed the Hens to a 70–71 record and a third place finish in the International League's West Division.

On March 7, 2017, Rojas was named the manager of the Leones del Caracas, for the 2017–2018 season.[7]

In 2018, Rojas will spend his first season as a member of the Kansas City Royals' organization as their Double-A manager; his father, Cookie, appeared in 880 games for the Royals between 1970 and 1977, and made four American League All-Star teams as a second baseman.
