Carey A. Schueler (born April 15, 1974)[1] is the first woman ever drafted by a Major League Baseball (MLB) team.
Drafting by the White Sox
Schueler played baseball at Campolindo High School in Moraga, California as a left-handed pitcher. In 1993, Schueler became the first woman to be drafted by a MLB team when the Chicago White Sox picked her directly out of high school in the 43rd round (1208th pick overall) of the 1993 MLB draft.[2] Prior to Schueler's drafting, the MLB had a ban in place on signing contracts for women; following her drafting by the White Sox, the rule was rescinded.[3]
At the time of her drafting, Schueler was also a basketball star for her high school's basketball team.[4][5] She did not sign with the White Sox, and instead attended and played basketball for DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois before transferring to St. Mary's College of California, in Moraga,[6] where she continued to play until an injury in 1996.[7]
Personal life
Schueler is the daughter of of former Chicago White Sox general manager Ron Schueler.[8]
