Jose Tabata (born August 12, 1988 in Anzoategui, Venezuela) is a Minor League Baseball outfielder in the New York Yankees organization. He was an international signee by the Yankees in 2005.
At the age of 17 and in his first year of professional ball, Tabata lead the entire Yankees farm system in batting average when he hit .314 for the Gulf Coast Yankees in 2005.
In 2006, Tabata was selected to participate in the XM Satellite Radio All-Star Futures Game as a member of the World team, which consisted of 25 highly touted prospects from across the globe. In the game, which was part of the festivities for the 2006 All-Star Game at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, PA, Tabata played centerfield while going 1-for-3 with a single off fellow Yankees prospect Philip Hughes.
Jose is represented by Beverly Hills Sports Council, a sports agency based in California.
