Biographical Information

Pitcher Anthony Misiewicz first reached the majors with the Seattle Mariners in 2020, after the Mariners had drafted him out of Michigan State University in the 18th round of the 2015 amateur draft. In the interim, he had been traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in August of 2017 as part of a five-player trade comprising mainly low-level prospects, then had been reacquired by Seattle in return for some international bonus slot money the following December.

He went 0-2, 4.05 in 21 games in his rookie season and 5-5, 4.61 in 55 games for Seattle in 2021, with 53 strikeouts in 54 2/3 innings. He began 2022 with the Mariners, and after going 0-1, 4.61 in 17 games before being purchased by the Kansas City Royals on August 1st. That began a highly nomadic phase of his career. He went 1-1, 4.11 in 15 games for Kansas City, then in 2023 successively pitched for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees. But before that, he was purchased from the Royals by the St. Louis Cardinals early during spring training, and purchased again by Arizona just before the start of the season. His next two teams both claimed him on waivers. On September 15th, pitching for the Yankees against the Pittsburgh Pirates, he was hit in the face by a batted ball from Ji Hwan Bae timed at 100.6 mph. The ball rolled into right field and he laid on the ground for several minutes before being removed from the game. He was released from hospital the next day.
