Key Information

Career

[edit]

Sax starred at James Marshall High School (now known as River City High School) in West Sacramento, California, from 1975 to 1978. The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Sax in the ninth round of the 1978 MLB draft.[1] Sax was a late season call up in 1981, playing 31 games.[2] Sax broke into the majors as a regular in 1982, earning the National League Rookie of the Year award.[3] Throughout his career, Sax was on the All-Star team five times and had a batting average over .300 in three seasons. He had great success on the basepaths, stealing over 40 bases in six different seasons, finishing with a career total of 444 stolen bases.[2] His best year arguably came in 1986, when he finished second in the NL with a .332 batting average, 210 base hits, and 43 doubles, and won a Silver Slugger Award.[1] Sax earned World Series rings with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981 and 1988.[1]

Following the end of the 1988 season, Sax signed with the New York Yankees as a free agent after feeling disrespected by the Dodgers during contract negotiations.[4][1] In 1989, he made the All-Star team due to a strong start with the Yankees.[1] He finished the season with a .315 batting average, 205 base hits, 88 runs, and 43 stolen bases.[1] Sax made the All-Star team his last time in 1990, finishing the season with 43 stolen bases, though his batting average dropped to .260.[1] In 1991, he had another strong year with the Yankees, finishing the season with a .304 batting average, 198 base hits, and 38 doubles.[5]

Sax was also a higher-up in the Players Association during his career.[6]

Steve Sax syndrome

[edit]

Though never regarded as one of the top fielding second basemen in the league, Steve Sax inexplicably became incapable of making routine throws to first base in 1983, committing 30 errors that season.[7] This is referred to in baseball terminology as "Steve Sax syndrome", the fielder's variant of "Steve Blass disease", named after the Pirates pitcher who suffered a similar breakdown of basic mechanics (also known as "the yips"). As his accuracy suffered, fans sitting behind the first base dugout began wearing batting helmets as mock protection.[8] Teammate Pedro Guerrero, an outfielder pressed into service at third base in 1983, once reportedly stated that his first thought whenever he was in the field was "I hope they don't hit it to me", while his second thought was "I hope they don't hit it to Sax."[9] By 1989, however, Sax seemed to be completely "cured", leading the American League in both fielding percentage[10] and double plays.

Post-career

[edit]

Sax piloted a new networking site called allsportsconnection.com. Sax has made television cameos, including the "Homer at the Bat" episode of The Simpsons,[11] as well as episodes of Square Pegs, Who's the Boss, Hollywood Squares, Body Language and Sabrina The Teenage Witch.[12] He has also been on the Fox News show Hannity. Sax played a supporting character in the 1998 movie Ground Control.[12]

He briefly ran for a seat in the California State Assembly 5th District as a Republican in 1996.[13] Sax, however, later dropped out of the race, when his divorce became publicized. A black belt, he was also a part-owner of a martial arts studio in Roseville, California.[14]

He worked as a financial consultant for RBC Dain Rauscher, LLC, in their Roseville, California, office. He had approximately 25 to 30 clients, including several athletes. He was a partner in the Sax/Hinman Sports Professional Group at RBC Dain Rauscher providing professional wealth management for sports professionals at every level of all professional sports.

In December 2012, Sax was named the first base coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks.[15] The Diamondbacks fired him on October 8, 2013.[16]

As of 2015, Sax returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers organization as an alumnus member of the Dodgers' Community Relations team.

Sax currently hosts SiriusXM's MLB Network Radio.[17] Sax also announces Saturday night Sacramento River Cats broadcasts on KMAX-TV in his hometown of West Sacramento. Starting in 2025, Sax became a studio analyst for the Athletics.

Personal life

[edit]

Steve is the brother of former Major League Baseball player Dave Sax, who also played for the Dodgers.[18] He is the father of Lauren Ashley (Sax) Boyd and son John Jeremy Sax. His nephew David Sax Jr. (son of Dave Sax) was seen on an episode of Intervention in 2015.[19] His son John, a captain in the United States Marine Corps, was one of five Marines killed in a V-22 Osprey training accident near San Diego, California on June 8, 2022.[20]

A nephew, Nick Sogard, plays in Major League Baseball for the Boston Red Sox.[21]

"Steve Sax Syndrome" and Performance Challenges

Onset and Manifestation

In 1983, during his second full season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Steve Sax began experiencing a sudden and severe decline in his ability to execute routine throws from second base to first base, marking the onset of what became known as "Steve Sax Syndrome." Previously, in his 1982 rookie campaign, Sax had demonstrated strong defensive performance, committing just 19 errors across 150 games for a .977 fielding percentage. The issue emerged early in the season, with Sax noting in a later interview that an initial error led to subsequent ones, allowing doubt and fear to infiltrate his mindset and exacerbate the problem. The manifestation primarily involved errant throws on simple ground balls—typically the 6-4 play in baseball scoring notation—where Sax's tosses would sail wide, high, or low, often requiring the first baseman to make extraordinary efforts to corral them. By season's end, Sax had accumulated 30 errors, a career high, with the vast majority occurring before the All-Star break and classified as throwing errors rather than fielding mishaps. This resulted in a sharp drop to a .961 fielding percentage, drawing fan mockery, including jokes from spectators along the first-base line who donned protective gear in anticipation of wild relays. The condition appeared psychological in nature, akin to the "yips" observed in other athletes, with no evident physical injury or mechanical flaw identified at the time.

Recovery and Explanations

Sax's recovery from his difficulties began through intensive, repetitive practice of fundamental fielding and drills to first base, which helped rebuild his and confidence despite the initial inexplicability of the onset. By focusing on basic mechanics without overthinking, he gradually reduced errors from 30 in 1983—many on routine throws—to 26 in 1984, 15 in 1985, and fewer thereafter, enabling a return to All-Star form by 1986. A pivotal mental breakthrough occurred during a conversation with his dying father, who reframed the issue not as a permanent but as a "temporary loss of confidence," providing Sax the psychological reset needed to execute throws more fluidly. Sax adopted strategies like accelerating his throwing motion to bypass hesitation and employing a personal key phrase for focus during rehearsals, which mitigated over-analysis and restored natural execution under pressure. Explanations for the syndrome emphasize psychological factors over physical ones, with experts viewing the yips as a real condition involving disrupted fine from anxiety or , though Sax's case lacked evidence of neurological damage and resolved without medical intervention. Unlike persistent cases in other players, Sax's temporary affliction aligned with confidence erosion from high-stakes scrutiny, as routine throws became tainted by fear of failure, but responded to deliberate desensitization and reframing absent in more chronic instances. No verifiable links to or external causes emerged, underscoring its idiopathic nature in his experience.

Achievements and Playing Style

Statistical Highlights

Steve Sax recorded 1,949 hits in 6,940 at-bats over 14 Major League seasons from 1981 to 1994, achieving a career of .281, of .335, and of .358 for an of .693.

He positioned his campaign on themes of personal responsibility and practical solutions drawn from his athletic experience, though he lacked prior elected office experience. Sax withdrew from the race on January 14, 1996, citing a desire to focus on family and business opportunities rather than pursuing the legislative bid further. Despite the withdrawal months earlier, his name appeared on ballots in some instances, garnering approximately 12% of the vote in the affected Assembly race, which observers attributed to residual from his MLB career rather than active campaigning.

Steve Sax has actively fundraised for the foundation, including auctioning original artwork such as the "Babe and the Kids" painting depicting with the 1927 Yankees, and minting NFTs of memorabilia to generate proceeds exclusively for scholarships. These efforts reflect Sax's commitment to honoring his son's legacy through tangible support for future generations in aviation, aligning with John's own trajectory as a decorated Marine aviator.

Mental Health Struggles

In 1983, Steve Sax experienced a profound psychological slump that manifested as an inability to execute routine throws from second base to first, committing 30 errors over the season, including 24 by the break. This condition, later termed "Steve Sax Syndrome" in reference to its impact on infielders, involved excessive overthinking and self-analysis of mechanics, leading to a loss of spontaneity in his fielding. Sax described the mental process as "thinking too much, analyzing my every little mistake," which eroded his natural and confidence under pressure. The episode coincided with personal stressors, including the death of his father on June 10, 1983, from a heart attack; in their final conversation the night before, his father assured him the issue would resolve abruptly, drawing from a to instill hope. This paternal encouragement provided a psychological turning point, as Sax played error-free in his final 38 games of the season, regaining his form without formal intervention.
