BIOGRAPHY

Seth Beer was born September 18, 1996, in Maryville, Illinois. He is an infielder in the MLB.

On July 31, 2019, the Astros traded Beer to the Arizona Diamondbacks along with prospects J.B. Bukauskas, Corbin Martin, and Joshua Rojas for Zack Greinke. He was assigned to the Jackson Generals of the Southern League, finishing the season there. Over 122 games between Fayetteville, Corpus Christi, and Jackson, Beer batted .289/.388/.516 with 26 home runs and 103 RBIs. Beer began the 2021 season with the Reno Aces. In his debut on September 10, 2021, Beer homered against the Seattle Mariners' Diego Castillo, becoming the 129th player in MLB history to homer in his first major-league at-bat.

Beer hit a walk-off three-run homer to give the Diamondbacks a 4–2 Opening Day victory over the San Diego Padres on April 7, 2022, and he became the first rookie in Major League history to hit a walk-off home run while trailing on Opening Day, which was also coincidentally National Beer Day. Beer was optioned to the minors on May 15.
