Timeline
The Nationals promoted Rizzo to President of Baseball Operations during the 2013 season. In 2016, the team picked up its option to extend Rizzo's contract through the 2018 season. On April 5, 2018, Rizzo signed a contract extension through the 2020 season. The Nationals won the 2019 World Series, defeating the Houston Astros in seven games and securing the franchise's first championship on October 30, 2019.
Rizzo decided to shut down ace pitcher Stephen Strasburg late in the 2012 season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery from the year before.
Three days after Bowden's sudden resignation on March 1, 2009, Rizzo was promoted on an interim basis by team president Stan Kasten. He was named the full-time Senior Vice President/General Manager on August 20, 2009. On October 19, 2010, Rizzo signed a five-year contract extension and was promoted to Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations and General Manager. The last two years of this contract were club options.
Rizzo grew up in Chicago as one of four children. His father, Phil, was a former minor league baseball player who drove a truck for the city and scouted for the California Angels on a part-time basis. The Angels made Phil Rizzo a full-time scout, as many of the players he identified reached the majors, and was eventually part of the inaugural induction class that entered the Professional Baseball Scouts Hall of Fame, in 2008.
Seeking to replace Joe Garagiola Jr. as the Diamondbacks' general manager, the team chose Josh Byrnes over Rizzo. As a result, Rizzo joined the Washington Nationals organization, when he was appointed Assistant General Manager and Vice President of Baseball Operations by Jim Bowden on July 24, 2006. This move coincided with the franchise's ownership transfer from Major League Baseball to a Washington, D.C.-based investment group headed by Ted Lerner.
After a brief playing career in minor league baseball, Rizzo transitioned into coaching and scouting. He became the director of scouting for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2000. Rizzo joined the Nationals in 2007 as an assistant general manager. He succeeded Jim Bowden as the Nationals' general manager in 2009, and was promoted to team president in 2013. Rizzo and the Nationals won the franchise's first World Series in 2019, defeating the Houston Astros in seven games.
Rizzo became an assistant coach at the University of Illinois. Larry Himes, the scout who drafted Rizzo, became the general manager of the Chicago White Sox, and he hired Rizzo as a scout for the Upper Midwest region. He also scouted for the Boston Red Sox. Rizzo joined the Arizona Diamondbacks when the franchise was created in 1998, and served as the Director of Scouting for the Diamondbacks from 2000 to 2006.
The Angels drafted Rizzo in the 22nd round, with the 554th overall selection, in the 1982 Major League Baseball Draft. He played for the Salem Angels (Class A Short Season), Peoria Suns (Class A) and Redwood Pioneers (Class A Advanced) from 1982 to 1984. After the 1984 season, the Angels released Rizzo. His father suggested that he was not skilled enough to reach the major leagues, and advised he attend college.
Michael Anthony Rizzo (born December 14, 1960) is an American baseball front office executive who is the general manager and president of baseball operations of the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball (MLB).
