Mendoza spent 13 seasons in Minor League Baseball. He joined the coaching staff of the Staten Island Yankees in the Yankees Minor League system for the 2009 season before joining the Charleston RiverDogs in 2010.

He was the manager of the Gulf Coast League Yankees for the 2011 season. Before the 2012 season, he returned to the RiverDogs as their manager. After the 2012 season, he joined the Yankees’ organization as a roving defensive instructor.

Mendoza was promoted to infield coach for the Yankees’ major league team after the 2017 season.

Despite only playing outfield during his career, Mendoza has been praised as a team leader on and off the field, being hired as an infield instructor.

He has a lot of routines that separate him unique from other coaches before, during, and after games.

According to Michael Kay’s radio show, Mendoza throws exactly 40 sunflower seeds in the grass behind home plate before each game at Yankee Stadium (one for each man on the extended Yankees roster). The public is unaware of the prayer he recites after tossing the seeds.

Mendoza was named the Yankees’ bench coach on November 11, 2019, replacing Josh Bard.
