Career

Hosey was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 1987 Major League Baseball draft, and spent most of his career in the minor league organizations of the Oakland Athletics, Milwaukee Brewers, Kansas City Royals, and Boston Red Sox. In 1994 he had his best minor league season, winning the American Association MVP. In 112 games hit .333 and slugging .628 with 27 home runs, 80 RBI, 27 stolen bases, and 95 runs scored.

He made his MLB debut with the Red Sox in Шаблон:Baseball year, and played a total of 52 games from 1995-Шаблон:Baseball year. He was traded to the Texas Rangers in 1996, but was released without playing in a major league game with the Rangers.

He was signed by the Yakult Swallows in Шаблон:Npby, and was immediately heralded as one of the greatest players ever to come to Japan by Swallows manager Katsuya Nomura. Hosey worked hard to get used to Japanese pitching, and his work paid off in his first season, where he beat out Hideki Matsui to lead the Central League with 38 home runs. Opposing pitchers seemed to have figured him out in Шаблон:Baseball year, and he ended the season with 18 home runs. He was released during the 1998 off-season.

Currently, Dwayne Hosey is the owner of Hosey Baseball Training Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Mr. Hosey became well familiar with Omaha as a member of the Omaha Royals. His son, Bronson, plays centerfield for the Omaha Westside Warriors and looks to continue his baseball career.
