James Victor Nelson (born September 5, 1959) is an American former professional baseball player. Nelson played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Seattle Mariners during the 1983 season.
The New York Mets drafted Nelson in the 8th round of the 1978 Major League Baseball draft. He signed as a free agent with the Mariners in 1981. He reached the majors in 1983: in 40 games, he batted .219 with one home run and five RBIs.[1] He began having trouble with his throwing arm in 1984, while in spring training with the Chicago Cubs. That September, Dr. Frank Jobe performed surgery on Nelson.[2]
Nelson became a coach in the minor leagues with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2000. He coached in the majors with the Rays from 2013 to 2017, then moved back down to the team's minor league system.[3][4][5]
