Daniel Vogelbach (born December 17, 1992) is an American professional baseball first baseman for the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Career

Minor leagues

Vogelbach attended Bishop Verot High School in Fort Myers, Florida. As a senior he hit .551 with nine home runs and was the The News-Press All-Area Baseball Player of the Year.[1]

The Chicago Cubs selected Vogelbach in the second round of the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft.[2][3] He made his professional debut with the Arizona League Cubs. In six games he hit .292/.370/.542 with a home run in 24 at-bats. He started the 2012 season with the Arizona League Cubs and was promoted to the Boise Hawks during the season. He finished the season hitting .322/410/.641 with 17 home runs and 62 runs batted in over 245 at-bats in 61 games. He started the 2013 season with the Kane County Cougars and was promoted to the Daytona Cubs near the end of the season.[4] He finished the year hitting .284/.375/.449 with 19 home runs over 483 at-bats in 131 games.[5] Prior to the 2014 season, he lost over 30 pounds to help improve his defense.[6][7] The Cubs added him to their 40-man roster after the 2015 season.[8]

Vogebach began the 2016 season with the Iowa Cubs of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League (PCL). On July 20, 2016, the Cubs traded Vogelbach and Paul Blackburn to the Seattle Mariners for Mike Montgomery and Jordan Pries.[9] The Mariners assigned him to the Tacoma Rainiers of the PCL,[10] and promoted him to the major leagues on September 12, after the Rainiers were eliminated from the PCL postseason.[11]

Seattle Mariners

The Mariners promoted Vogelbach to the major league roster on September 12, 2016. He made his major league debut later that night as a pinch-hitter against the Los Angeles Angels, grounding into a fielder's choice in his first at bat.[12] The next night, he got his first big league start and first big league hit, a single to right in his third plate appearance.[13]
