He’s Seby Zavala, and he comes from The Land of Delightfully Wonderful Baseball Names La Puente, California. The White Sox drafted Zavala out of San Diego State way back in 2015 (he’s not exactly young), and for a couple of years he served as the backup catcher on the South Side. After he was DFA’d by Chicago towards the end of the 2023 season, he landed first with the Diamondbacks and then with the Mariners, serving as a depth piece for both organizations.
The Red Sox signed him to a minor league deal with a spring training invite a couple of weeks ago.
