Christopher Seise (born January 6, 1999) is an American professional baseball shortstop who is a free agent.
Seise attended West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Florida. He committed to play college baseball at the University of Central Florida. He was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the first round of the 2017 MLB draft.[1][2][3][4]
After signing, he was assigned to the AZL Rangers. There, he posted a .336 batting average with three home runs and 27 RBIs in 27 games which earned him a promotion to the Spokane Indians, where he batted .222 with nine RBIs in 24 games to end his first professional season.[5] He missed all of 2018 after undergoing rotator cuff surgery.[6] Seise was assigned to the Hickory Crawdads of the Class A South Atlantic League to open the 2019 season,[7] and appeared in 21 games, hitting .241/.267/.356/.623 with 6 RBI.[8] Seise underwent surgery in early May to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and missed the rest of the 2019 season.[9][10] Seise did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the Minor League Baseball season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Seise was assigned to the Hickory Crawdads of the High-A East to open the 2021 season.[11] After just 10 games in 2021, Seise tore the ACL in his right knee, which required season-ending surgery to repair.[12][13] Seise returned to Hickory for the 2022 season, hitting .246/.319/.384/.703 with 10 home runs, 46 RBI, and 12 stolen bases.[14] Seise opened the 2023 season with the Frisco RoughRiders of the Double-A Texas League. He elected free agency on November 6.[15]
