Anthony Seigler finally made his MLB debut on Wednesday — and while it came in New York, the former first-round pick of the Yankees was in Queens, playing with the Milwaukee Brewers.
“It’s been a long time, but being here now, it’s everything I can dream of,” Seigler said before starting at third base and going hitless in three at-bats for Milwaukee in a 7-2 win in the first game of a split doubleheader at Citi Field. “There were some rough patches, but that’s how life is. You keep on going, day by day, and put in the work.”
The 26-year-old Seigler, who had his first big league hit in the second game in a 1-for-3 night in the Mets’ 7-3 win, was selected 23rd overall out of Cartersville HS in Cartersville, Georgia in 2018.
It was the year after the Yankees picked Clarke Schmidt in the first round and a year prior to drafting Anthony Volpe with their first pick.
