Biographical Information

The brother of big leaguers Corey Seager and Kyle Seager, infielder Justin Seager was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the 12th round of the 2013 amateur draft, from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He batted .350 in his final season in college, with 22 doubles. He began his pro career with the Everett AquaSox on June 21st, going 2-for-4 against the Hillsboro Hops.

He played in the minor leagues until 2017, all five seasons in the Mariners' system, but peaked at AA, never reaching the Show, unlike his two brothers. His best season was his first one for Everett, when he batted .267/.323/.358 in 61 games. He never batted above .240 after that, but did hit 13 homers in 80 games for the Bakersfield Blaze of the California League in 2016. On May 7, 2014, playing for the Clinton LumberKings of the Midwest League against the Burlington Bees, he played a key role in one of the greatest comebacks in professional baseball history. Clinton was trailing 17-1 at one point, but came back to send the game into extra innings. In the 12th inning, he drove in the go-ahead run, after which pinch-hitter Lonnie Kauppila followed with a two-run single to give Clinton an improbable 20-17 win.

After baseball, he became a product support specialist for Blast Motion, Inc., in his hometown of Charlotte, NC. The company provides motion analysis and performance insights for professional and aspiring athletes.
