He first tried out for the Major League Baseball (MLB) in 1996. He was selected that time by the Toronto Blue Jays but his first MLB game was with the Tampa Bay Devil rays in 2001.

Steve Trachsel, who used to be with the New York Mets.
A year prior his debut with the Devil Rays, he participated in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney Australia in which the United States won the gold medal. He played side by side with
Pat Borders, a former catcher, and
Chris George, presently playing for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2003, the Kansas City Royals claimed him. He had an unstable career after a season with the Royals, transferring from one team onto the next. In 2004, he was signed by the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians and in the later part of the season, he became a free agent. The last MLB team he signed up for was the Milwaukee Brewers but his last game was with the Minnesota Twins on 2005. He has been playing the game with the Long Island Ducks since April 2008.
