Luis Rojas’ baseball bloodlines are shrouded by his name and playing record, but the Mets quality control/outfield coach isn’t hiding anything.
The 37-year-old native of the Dominican Republic has a father who played and managed in the major leagues, a brother who was selected to six All-Star teams — finishing his career with the Mets — and two famous uncles who along with Rojas’ father made the family baseball royalty in the 1960s and ’70s.
In the Mets organization for the past 13 seasons, he has been known as “Rojas.” But Luis Rojas came to the United States as Luis Alou — son of Felipe, brother of Moises and nephew of Matty and Jesus.
