Career
St. Louis Cardinals
Seijas signed with the St. Louis Cardinals as an international free agent on July 2, 2015.[1][2] He made his professional debut in 2016 with the Dominican Summer League Cardinals before being promoted to the Gulf Coast League Cardinals. Over 14 games (13 starts), he went 5–2 with a 3.38 ERA, striking out 55 over 69+1⁄3 innings. In 2017, he played with the rookie-level Johnson City Cardinals, going 4–3 with a 4.97 ERA over 12 starts, and in 2018, he pitched for the Single-A Peoria Chiefs, compiling a 5–8 record with a 4.52 ERA over 25 games (22 starts).[3] Seijas began the 2019 season back with Peoria,[2] with whom he was named a Midwest League All-Star, before being promoted to the High-A Palm Beach Cardinals in July. Over 24 starts with both clubs, he went 8–6 with a 2.81 ERA, compiling 114 strikeouts over 134+1⁄3 innings.[4]
On November 20, 2019, the Cardinals added Seijas to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[5] He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] On August 21, 2020, Seijas was outrighted off of the 40-man roster.[7] To begin the 2021 season, he was assigned to the Double-A Springfield Cardinals. After posting an 8.78 ERA in six games for Springfield, Seijas was released by the Cardinals on July 27, 2021.[8]
