Steven James Rodríguez (born November 29, 1970) is a former second baseman/shortstop in Major League Baseball who played briefly for the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers during the 1995 season. Listed at 5' 8", 170 lb., Rodríguez batted and threw right-handed. A native of Las Vegas, Nevada, he was selected by Boston in the fifth-round of the 1992 draft out of Pepperdine. Rodríguez was hired as the 19th head coach of the Baylor University baseball team on June 12, 2015.
A two-time Waves All-American (1991–92), Rodríguez helped his team claim its only national championship in the 1992 College World Series, when he was named West Conference Player of the Year and also was a member of the All-Tournament Team, earning Player of the Series honors against Mexico and Cuba. \, Rodríguez collected a .419 batting average –the third-highest single-season average in school history–, and his 104 base hits that season are also a Pepperdine single-season record, as he finished with a .382 average in the round-robin phase of the 1991 Pan American Games for the Bronze Medal USA baseball team. Then, in 1992, Rodríguez was named one of the West Coast Conference's Top Fifty Athletes of all time.
In an 18-game major league career, Rodríguez was a .179 hitter (7-for-39) with five runs, two doubles, and two stolen bases without home runs or an RBI. He also played in the Red Sox, Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers and Montreal Expos minor league systems from 1992–98, hitting .263 with 16 home runs and 205 RBI in 613 games.
