Marty Ashley Pevey (born December 25, 1962) is an American professional baseball manager and former Major League catcher and coach. He has been the manager of the Chicago Cubs' Triple-A affiliate, the Iowa Cubs of the International League, since 2013.[1] Pevey stood 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall and weighed 185 pounds (84 kg); he batted left-handed and threw right-handed.
After playing collegiately for the Georgia Southern Eagles, he was selected in the 19th round (474th overall) of the 1982 Major League Baseball draft by the Minnesota Twins,[2] but he was released after only two months in the Rookie-level Appalachian League. He resumed his pro career when the St. Louis Cardinals signed him as a free agent the following season.
Pevey's playing career lasted for 13 seasons (through 1995, with the exception of 1990, which he missed with an injury). In his only Major League trial, he appeared in 13 games played, 11 as a starting catcher, for the 1989 Montreal Expos. He had one double and one triple among his nine big-league hits.[3] In 1995, he was a replacement player in spring training for the Seattle Mariners, being named the team's provisional roster before the players' strike ended.[4][5]
