Joseph Earl "Joe" McEwing (born October 19, 1972) is a former Major League Baseball player who spent most of his career with the New York Mets, where he played from 2000 through 2004. Nicknamed "Super Joe", he was the prototypical utility player who could play any position on the field well. McEwing is currently the third base coach for the Chicago White Sox.
McEwing played college baseball at the County College of Morris in Randolph Township, New Jersey. He played high school baseball at Bishop Egan High School (now known as Conwell-Egan Catholic High School) in Levittown, Pennsylvania.
In 1998, he had a total of 51 doubles with Triple-A Memphis and Double-A Arkansas. His first full season in the majors was also his best. McEwing batted .275 in 1999 with 141 hits and nine home runs, both career highs. He also amassed a 25-game hitting streak, the fifth longest at that time by a rookie, and finished fifth in National League Rookie of the Year balloting.
McEwing became an immediate fan favorite because of his energy, hustle and obvious love for the game. During his rookie season, McEwing played every position on the field, except pitcher and catcher.
