Homar Rojas
Homar Rojas Villarreal (born February 16, 1964, in Santiago, Nuevo León, Mexico)[1] is a former player and a manager in Minor League Baseball. He batted and threw right-handed.
Rojas spent 23 years in the minor leagues as a catcher before becoming a manager. From 1982 through 2004, he played for nine different teams both in the Mexican Baseball and Mexican Pacific leagues. A fine defensive catcher and good-contact hitter, he batted .300 or more nine times and hit 150 home runs, while collecting a career .291 batting average. His most productive season came in 1998, when he posted career-highs in average (.352) and RBI (92).
Following his playing career, Rojas has managed both in the LMB (2005–2006) and LMP (2007–08).
