Rojas was a right-handed relief pitcher in his playing days.

[1] Rojas played independent league baseball in 1995 before being acquired by the Florida Marlins in his adopted city of Miami. Rojas pitched for two seasons in the Marlins' system — including service with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights for eight games — before injuries ended his active career. He won four games and lost six, appearing in 29 games with an earned run average of 4.56. He batted right-handed and stood 6 feet (1.83 m) tall and weighed 210 pounds (95 kg) as an active player.
