Tom Jacquez Biography

Tom Jacquez is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on December 29, 1975 in Stockton, California, United States. Thomas Patrick Jacquez (born December 29th 1975) is an ex-professional baseball player. As a pitcher who was lefthanded, Jacquez was a part of a year during his time in Major League Baseball in 2000 for the Philadelphia Phillies. Jacquez was chosen to Phillies Phillies in the amateur draft of 1997. He played for the minor-league Piedmont Boll Weevils, Batavia Clippers, Clearwater Phillies, Reading Phillies, and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons before being called up to the Phillies in September 2000. Jacquez played in 9 games with the Phillies in September 2000 and earned an earned-run rate of 11.50. In his eight Minor league seasons Jacquez registered 43W 681.1IP 461K, 192BB and 192 BB.

Following the recommendation of the an area Scout Mark Ralston, the Phillies chose Jacquez during the seventh round of their 1997 draft (he was eligible due to the fact that his junior standing was in place). He stated in 2011 “My childhood goal was to be a pitcher for the big leagues. When I left early I was able to make one step towards achieving my dream.” A few days later, he was signed and was assigned at Batavia as a player in the New York-Penn League. After going 2-1 and an 2.42 ERA in four starts and then he was sent on to Piedmont in the Class A South Atlantic League in July. In his first two starts, he went 2-4 with a 4.97 in eight games.

After 2000, Jacquez played in the minor leagues for several seasons. He played for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2001 before joining the Chicago White Sox farm system for the 2002 season. That year Thomas had season-ending Tommy John surgery. Jacquez played for the Charlotte Knights and Great Falls White Sox over 2002 and 2003. He entered the Baltimore Orioles farm system and played for the Bowie Baysox in 2004, after which he voluntarily retired from pro baseball due to shoulder injury.

Jacquez started the 2000 season back at Reading, but after posting a 2.96 ERA in 13 games, he climbed to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre once again (despite an 0-3 record). With the Barons, he got four saves behind primary closer Kirk Bullinger, going 5-1, 1.98 in 35 games with one start. Baseball Prospectus wrote, “His progress this year as a reliever is apparently a product of minor- league pitching coach Gorman Heimueller’s work with him.”

In weighing the health dangers, Thomas was prepared to be back if the Bruins were in need of the player, but Thomas returned to action in his summer in 1996 for the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League. He was 2-1 with a 2.14 and earned the name “Hawk” from his host family. He rebounded well when he was a sophomore redshirt recording a 10-4 record, and an impressive 3.06 ERA and leading the Bruins in pitching with 129.1 innings of pitched. UCLA was the winner of the NCAA’s Midwest Regional tournament, although Harvard beat Harvard Jacquez in the first game by winning 7-3. UCLA Bruins were able to make it into the College World Series as the fourth seed, but lost two games that were tough against Miami in addition to Mississippi State.

Jacquez was a part of the Bruins starting lineup in the freshman year of 1995. He was unable to play for most of his sophomore season following an emergency appendectomy that occurred in February. “I had a bad stomach ache for a day,” he wrote one year later. “I believed the cause was food poisoning. The symptoms got worse throughout the night. In the morning I visited the hospital emergency rooms. If you experience something like this and stops your from doing what you are passionate about, it’s physical and mental strain. It is difficult to realize how much you love it until you’re unable to perform it any more. I’m not taking anything to be taken for granted any longer. Every time I pitch, I’m thinking it’s my last. I’m 100% committed all the occasion.'”

Thomas (he started to prefer his full name when he was in college) received an all-inclusive scholarship for the University of California at Los Angeles. He also considered a variety of other universities: The University of Southern California, University of California at Berkeley, University of Arizona, Arizona State, and Santa Clara University (where his father pitched). In 1995 The Daily Bruin called him part of “maybe the most heralded freshman recruiting class in recent UCLA baseball history.” This team also comprised three other potential big-leaguers including the slugger Troy Glaus, Eric Byrnes And Jim Parque. The following year, they added another, Eric Valent.

For 1998, Jacquez rose to Clearwater in the Florida State League (high Class A) where he posted 9-11, 4.50 as he started 28 of 29 games. Late that July, he pitched a one-hit shutout and gave up no walks. He did enough to rise to the next level, Double-A Reading, in 1999. After a win over New Britain in late May, the Reading Eagle wrote, “Far from overpowering, Thomas Jacquez uses control and finesse…Jacquez started to laugh Sunday afternoon when an out of- town reporter anointed him the new ace of the Reading Phillies staff. ‘I wouldn’t say that,’ said Jacquez.” He had already yielded 11 homers that season and added, “Every game is a battle for me. I’m a groundball pitcher. If I get the ball up, you saw what happens.”
