Chance Sisco, a catcher who spent part of the 2021 season with the New York Mets, announced his retirement from professional baseball after 14 years. Sisco shared the news on Instagram, saying the game had given him more than he could have imagined and expressing gratitude for the organizations he played for.
Sisco, a second-round pick of the Baltimore Orioles in the 2013 draft, hit .340 to win the South Atlantic League batting title in 2014 and played in the 2016 All-Star Futures Game. He debuted in the majors with Baltimore in 2017 and stayed with the Orioles through parts of five seasons before the Mets claimed him off waivers in June 2021.
His time in New York was brief. Sisco appeared in five games, collecting one hit and one RBI before the Mets designated him for assignment that September. In 517 major league at-bats with the Orioles and Mets, he hit .197 with 16 home runs.
Sisco later spent time in the Seattle Mariners and Minnesota Twins organizations before moving to independent baseball with the Long Island Ducks and Chicago Dogs. In 2025 with the Dogs, he batted .301 with 17 home runs and 61 RBIs.
