Career

Sisco attended Santiago High School in Corona, California.[1] The Baltimore Orioles selected Sisco in the second round of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft.[2] He opted to sign with the Orioles rather than play college baseball at the University of Oregon.[3]

Sisco made his professional debut that season for the Gulf Coast Orioles of the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League and ended the year with the Aberdeen IronBirds of the Class A-Short Season New York-Penn League.[4] He finished his first year hitting .363/.468/.451 and a home run in 33 games.[5] Sisco played the 2014 season with the Delmarva Shorebirds of the Class A South Atlantic League (SAL).[6] He won the SAL batting title after hitting .340 and also had five home runs and a .854 on-base plus slugging (OPS).[7] In 2015, he played for the Frederick Keys of the Class A-Advanced Carolina League and the Bowie Baysox of the Class AA Eastern League. After the season he played in the Arizona Fall League.[8][9] Sisco played 2016 with Bowie and the Norfolk Tides of the Class AAA International League.[10] In July, he played in the All-Star Futures Game.[11][12]

The Orioles promoted Sisco to the major leagues on September 1, 2017.[13] He made his Major League debut the next night as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning.
