Biographical Information

Aaron Fera played in the minor leagues and for Team Canada.

Fera was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 32nd round of the 1999 Amateur Draft, and he hit .221/.295/.362 in 61 games for the Medicine Hat Blue Jays in his first season. He recorded a .241/.340/.380 batting line for the Hagerstown Suns in 2000, and he also went 6-for-30 with the Queens Kings. Fera left the Blue Jays chain in the middle of that season, and he played 21 games with a .266/.338/.297 batting line for the Waterbury Spirit. He then crushed 18 homers with a solid .355/.397/.688 batting line for the North East Jackals in 2001, and the St. Louis Cardinals signed him. Fera was 10-for-59 with the Peoria Chiefs. He was second in the Northern League East in average (a distant .061 behind Francisco Matos), was second in homers (two behind Rodney Clifton), ranked 10th with 54 RBI, was 5th in OBP, led in slugging (.112 ahead of runner-up Matos) and led in OPS (48 ahead of Matos). Perhaps due to somewhat limited playing time (appearing in 58 of their 90 games), he was left off the All-Star team, with Brandon Curtis, Tarrik Brock and Clifton being picked as the outfielders.

He hit .258/.324/.468 in 70 games with 12 homers for the Potomac Cannons in 2002. Fera crushed 9 homers with a .257/.325/.429 batting line for the St. Paul Saints in 2003, and he represented Canada in the 2003 Baseball World Cup. Surprisingly given his power background, all his hits were singles as he was at .381/.381/.381 in six games, playing DH and the corner outfield. He tied Rob Butler for the team lead with eight hits and he led Canada's regulars in average, .033 ahead of Butler. He hit .259/.333/.326 for the Brockton Rox in 2004, and his batting line was .216/.284/.337 for the New Haven County Cutters. That was his last season.

Overall, Fera hit .255/.323/.429 with 426 hits and 58 homers in 7 seasons as a professional player.
