Former MLB All-Star First Baseman & Analyst; Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer; MLB Network Analyst
Sean Casey Biography
Sean Casey is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) first baseman, three-time All-Star, MLB Network analyst, and Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer. Known throughout his playing career by the nickname “The Mayor,” Casey earned a reputation for his exceptional hitting ability, enthusiasm for the game, and outgoing personality.
Born in Willingboro, New Jersey, Casey attended Upper St. Clair High School in Pennsylvania before playing college baseball at the University of Richmond. In 1995, he led all NCAA Division I players with a .461 batting average and was named a second-team All-American. The Cleveland Indians selected him in the second round of the 1995 MLB Draft, 53rd overall.
Casey made his major-league debut with Cleveland in 1997 before joining the Cincinnati Reds in 1998. It was in Cincinnati that he established himself as one of baseball's premier contact hitters and became one of the most popular players in franchise history. He was selected to the National League All-Star team in 1999, 2001, and 2004, and finished among the National League's top 10 hitters in batting average three times. He recorded a .300-or-better average in six seasons during his career.
Over a 12-year MLB career, Casey played for the Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates, Detroit Tigers, and Boston Red Sox. He finished with a .302 career batting average, 1,531 hits, 130 home runs, and 735 RBIs. After being traded to Detroit during the 2006 season, Casey helped the Tigers reach the World Series, where he hit .529 with two home runs and five RBIs.
Casey's nickname, “The Mayor,” reflected his unusually friendly and engaging personality. In 2007, his fellow major-league players voted him the “Friendliest Player in Baseball” in a Sports Illustrated poll. He was also recognized throughout his career for his community involvement, including receiving the Hutch Award and multiple Good Guy honors.
After retiring from baseball following the 2008 season, Casey moved into broadcasting and joined MLB Network as an analyst in 2009. He has appeared across the network's programming, including "MLB Tonight," spring training coverage, and special-event broadcasts, bringing his experience as a major-league hitter to his analysis of the game.
In 2023, Casey returned to the dugout when the New York Yankees hired him as their hitting coach for the remainder of the season. He subsequently continued his work in baseball media and as a host and instructor.
In 2012, he was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.
