Seánez made his major league debut on September 7, 1989, for the Indians against the Toronto Blue Jays. He worked 2 scoreless innings in relief during the Indians 17-9 loss to the Blue Jays.
On September 29 2004 while pitching for the Florida Marlins Seánez recorded the final out at Montreal's Olympic Stadium when he got Terrmel Sledge to pop out to third base to end the final Montreal Expos home game before the team became the Washington Nationals in 2005
In a 16-season career, Seánez is 41–30 with 12 saves and a 4.12 ERA in 515 appearances, all in relief. Seánez showed ability to overcome numerous injuries, combining weightlifting with mixed martial arts during his off-season workout regimen.[2] Seánez also trained with professional Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters and sports several tattoos.[2][3]
Seánez was an aggressive pitcher who challenged hitters with his 96 mile-per-hour fastball. His slider and changeup were also effective, and he was capable against batters from both sides of the plate. He did a better job than many middle relievers at holding on base runners, and was a competent fielder despite a history of back problems.
In 2008, after 20 years in the big leagues, Seanez earned his first World Series ring as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies. He was not included on the club's postseason roster, but did travel with the team and was in uniform for all of the team's playoff games.
On May 18, 2009, he passed a physical and signed a minor league deal to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.[4] He was released on July 18.
Retirementedit
In November 2010, he retired from baseball. He currently owns Seanez Sports Academy. The 15,776 square foot facility includes cages for batting and pitching. There is also an open area for agility training, and a sports performance gym.[5] Currently employed as loss and prevention at Best Buy’s El Centro, California.
