Nagy started in the minors in 1942 but missed 1943-1945 due to military service. In 1946 he went 17-4 for the Montreal Royals, in the year that Jackie Robinson made his minor league debut. Nagy and Robinson were born the same year.

In 1949 he was a teammate of the veteran Arky Vaughan with the San Francisco Seals, and for several years in the minors was a teammate of former major leaguer Wally Judnich. For a couple years with the Buffalo Bisons, Steve was a teammate of former major leaguer Luke Easter.
