[edit] Biographical Information
Infielder Kyle Seager was taken by the Seattle Mariners in the third round of the 2009 Amateur Draft. He was signed by scout Rob Mummau for $436,500 and made his pro debut that summer.
Seager was called up to the big leagues on July 6, 2011 after spending only two weeks (12 games, .455/.500/.673) at AAA Tacoma. After being sent back down to Tacoma, he was called up again on August 2nd and had the distinction of playing a game both in the minor leagues and major leagues that day. He went 0 for 5 for Tacoma in an afternoon game before being called up, then drove up to Seattle, WA and got to the ballpark in time to get an at-bat in that night's game against the Oakland Athletics.
