Professional career
Nick Evans was born in Glendale, Arizona. In the fifth round of the 2004 MLB draft, he was selected out of St. Mary's High School in Phoenix, Arizona, by the Mets.
On May 24, 2008, Evans was called up from Double-A Binghamton to replace Marlon Anderson, who had been on the disabled list. He appeared in left field for the Mets and batted eighth.
In Evans' first at bat, he doubled off Colorado Rockies pitcher Jeff Francis. He was the first Met to hit three extra-base hits in his major league debut since Kazuo Matsui in 2004. In his first game, Evans became the first player in National League history to reach three doubles.
Since being batting.174 in nine games when the Mets decided to call on Abraham Nez for infield depth, Evans was carted back to Binghamton on June 6 after batting.174 in nine games. After Ryan Church went on the disabled list, Evans was recalled on July 8.
Evans made his first Major League appearance at first base, his natural spot, on August 7, 2008, after only previously playing one inning with the Mets.
Evans made his first Major League home run against the Florida Marlins off pitcher Scott Olsen on August 31, 2008.
Evans spent the 2009 season in Triple-A Buffalo but was eventually sent to Double-A Binghamton. Evans was called up by the Mets on June 19. On June 24, he had his first home run of the year.
On August 25, 2009, Nick was recalled along with pitcher Pat Misch after Billy Wagner was traded to the Boston Red Sox, and Johan Santana was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
He was recalled on May 18, 2011 to replace David Wright after he went on the 15-day disabled list with a stress fracture in his back. Evans was scheduled for assignment on June 10, in order to make room for Lucas Duda. Since Jose Reyes was put on the 15-day disabled list, he had his contract renewed on July 7. On July 22, he was still listed for service.
Evans agreed to a minor league deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates on November 22, 2011. Evans left the game in the eighth inning after breaking his wrist. He didve for a ball in foul territory but landed on his wrist after his glove bent backwards on the ground. Evans departed the field and was replaced by Jake Fox. In his left hand, he fractured three bones. Evans underwent surgery on May 3 to insert pins in his broken left hand. On August 2, 2012, he began a rehab stint with the Gulf Coast League Pirates. However, he did not return to Indianapolis until the season ended. Evans became a free agent in November 2012.
On November 20, 2012, he signed a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which included an invitation to spring training. He was fired by the Dodgers on March 18, 2013 after struggling to secure a career with the team.
In March 2013, Evans joined the Arizona Diamondbacks. After a disappointing 2012 season, he was sent to Double-A Mobile to regain his form. He hit.267 with 19 HR (fourth in the Southern League) and 81 RBI (third) in 133 games for the BayBears at first and third base.
