Former MLB Pitcher | Professional Baseball for 21 years | Owner of The Farm System | Training and Developing Players for 18 Years
Josias was born in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic – the country that produces the highest percentage of foreign-born MLB players. When he was 16 years old, a Red Sox scout told his mom he wanted to sign Josias. A few weeks after being signed, Josias called his mom telling her he wanted to go back… He did not know the language and did not have the right clothes for the weather. Josias's mom said, “you will only come back if you get released.” His mother's unwavering belief in her son and his ability gave him the inspiration he needed to push forward and never give up.
He spent many years in the minor leagues until he learned that, although physically capable to be in the Major Leagues, he had to learn that success comes only with the right mindset. On Oct 5, 1991, his debut was for the Boston Red Sox. He spent over 8 years at the Major League level and exceeded rookie limits during the 1994 season.
After 21 years of pitching professionally, he decided to dedicate his life to developing young players and teaching them the technical and mental aspects of the game. In 2003, he started teaching players and in 2011, Manzy and his wife Delmaris founded Manzy’s Pitching Farm, now known as The Farm System.
He teaches every day and continues to say that he played in Major League Baseball to do what he enjoys most…teaching kids. He is loved by his players and their parents for being a skilled coach and an amazing, caring mentor, and a Christ-follower.

In 2003, The Farm System, formerly known as Manzy's Pitching Farm, started with just Manzy in the Memorial Hospital West baseball training. He focused on teaching and training kids to gain confidence in pitching.
5 years later of lessons and continual growth, Manzy’s Pitching Farm was established and was exclusively providing pitching lessons that focused on technique, drills, bullpens, and mindset. However, a piece was missing: Manzy wanted to be outside and on the fields, as he felt he couldn’t fully develop players the same way indoors.
In 2012, Manzy relocated to Bamford Park in Davie where he built and developed a program to help players, specifically those at the beginner and intermediate levels. Manzy saw a need for full-scope player development and brought the opportunity to help the beginner to advanced level players who need these types of training. As time passed and his work became more well known, Manzy was contacted by different leagues to work with them and offer his expertise to the Board of Directors, coaches, and players.
