Who’s he and the place did he come from?
He’s Anthony Seigler. Do you suppose the Crimson Sox don’t have sufficient infield depth items? You’re in luck, as a result of right here’s one other one.
This specific infield depth piece began 25 video games at third base for the playoff-bound Brewers in 2025 after making his MLB debut in July. The 26-year-old lefty from Cartersville, Georgia was a primary spherical draft choose for the Yankees (three picks in entrance of Triston Casas!) and spent the primary 5 years of his skilled profession in that group. The Yankees-Crimson Sox crossover comps don’t cease there, as a result of he’s simply the second Navajo participant of all-time to make a Main League roster, becoming a member of none aside from Jacoby Ellsbury.
Cease me when you’ve heard thus one earlier than: he’s precisely okay. Which is okay! Seigler has not fairly discovered it but on the plate in his brief Main League profession, batting simply .194 with one additional base hit (a double) in his 62 at-bats. He fared so much higher at Triple-A, slashing .285/.414/.478 in 2025 after which a equally wholesome .295/.425/.471 this 12 months. That is bolstered by his capability to attract walks, as his share as a professional approaches 20 %. He’s affected person, fast, and might pull a ball when he does hit it. Take a look at his Prospect Savant web page for this sizzling chart (minimal 700 pitches seen.)
Clearly, Seigler has extra work to do about getting that ball out of the park.
Yet one more factor about Seigler: he’s performed all around the diamond, splitting most of his minor league innings between catcher and second base earlier than spending extra time at third in 2026. And if that’s not sufficient versatility for you, he was drafted as a two-way participant who additionally pitches, one thing that’s nice in, uhhh, emergency state of affairs. However, I wouldn’t put an excessive amount of inventory in it, as he was solely referred to as upon to take the mound as soon as in 2025.
Tl;dr, simply give me his stats.
MLB: 34 G, .194/.292/.210, 0 HR, 5 RBI, -0.2 WAR, 16 Ok, 8 BB
AAA: 102 G, .289/.417/.476, 11 HR, 60 RBI, 78 Ok, 74 BB
Present me a cool spotlight.
Right here’s his first Main League hit. He has a very fascinating swing right here, as he seems to choke down a bit of. Which, when you’re hitting nicely, nice! With Seigler, although, you nearly marvel if an adjustment is required.
However consider it or not, Seigler has even cooler highlights than his first Main League hit. That’s as a result of, not solely is he a two-way participant, he’s a two-way participant who throws with each palms:
What’s he doing in his image up there?
Grinning as if the Crimson Sox gear staff lastly got him the right bag.
