Nicholas Testa is a former professional baseball catcher and coach. He played briefly in both Major League Baseball and Nippon Professional Baseball.
Testa began his professional career in 1946 at the age of 17 with the Newburgh Hummingbirds. Testa had one of the briefest major league baseball careers ever. He played just one inning of one game for the San Francisco Giants in 1958, never coming to bat in the major leagues. In his one chance on defense, he committed an error.[1] Later that season, Testa was named the team's bullpen coach.[2]
Testa played for several more seasons in minor league baseball, eventually making his way to Japan in 1962. That season, he played in 57 games for the Daimai Orions, batting .136 with 5 RBI.[3]
Testa later served as a coach for the St. Lucie Legends in the Senior Professional Baseball Association during their lone year of existence in 1989. He also coached baseball at Lehman College.
