Pat Mahomes
Patrick Lavon Mahomes (born August 9, 1970) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball from 1992 to 2003 with the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, and Pittsburgh Pirates. Mahomes also pitched in two seasons in Nippon Professional Baseball, 1997 and 1998 with the Yokohama BayStars. He last played with the Grand Prairie AirHogs of the independent American Association in 2009.
Mahomes was born in Texas, one of three children. His father worked for a local oil company and coached Mahomes' youth baseball team. His mother worked as a nurse until Mahomes was seven years old, when she was in a car accident that left her requiring the use of a wheelchair.
Mahomes attended Lindale High School in Lindale, Texas, where he played baseball, football, and basketball. He was an intense competitor and, according to his parents, would cry or refuse to eat or talk after every loss in high school. He was also a member of the National Honor Society and had the second-highest grade point average in his graduating class.
Mahomes was only 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m) as a high school junior but earned all-state honors as a football quarterback and averaged 30 points per game in basketball. In baseball, he played shortstop and pitched. He received scholarship offers to play all three sports collegiately but most strongly considered a scholarship offer to play college baseball and walk on to the basketball team for the Arkansas Razorbacks.
The Minnesota Twins drafted in Mahomes in the sixth round of the 1988 MLB draft. He began his professional career with the Elizabethton Twins that summer as a starting pitcher. Over the next few years, he worked his way up through the Twins farm system, reaching Triple-A in 1991 with the Portland Beavers.
Mahomes made his major league debut with the Twins in 1992. He made the team out of spring training and started the sixth game of the season, on April 12 against the Texas Rangers, pitching six innings and getting a no decision. He notched his first major league win in his next start, on April 21 against the Seattle Mariners. Mahomes played with the Twins into the 1996 season, appearing in a total of 114 games (51 starts) during five seasons while compiling an 18–28 record with 5.82 ERA, with 217 strikeouts in 366+2⁄3 innings.
The Twins traded Mahomes to the Boston Red Sox on August 26, 1996 for a player to be named later (which turned out to be pitcher Brian Looney). Mahomes pitched a total of 21 games (all in relief) during the 1996 and 1997 seasons with Boston, registering a 6.85 ERA with 3–0 record and 11 strikeouts in 22+1⁄3 innings. He was released by the Red Sox on June 27, 1997.
Mahomes played for the Yokohama BayStars of Nippon Professional Baseball, signing with them midway through the 1997 season and pitched with them through 1998.
