Seagar and Schebler came up through the Dodgers' system. Schebler was the 26th round pick of the Dodgers in the 2010 draft.  Seager was the Dodgers' first choice in the 2012 draft.  Seager, 21, spent the first part of the 2013 season at Great Lakes in the Midwest League, the was promoted to Rancho Cucamonga in the California League.  Schebler was there from the beginning of the season and the pair became friends.

"It is fun to play against those guys and beat them for bragging rights," Schebler said. "People would ask me if I saw him being this good.  I said 1,000 percent."  Seager is hitting .313 with 21 home runs and 57 RBI.

Schebler is in his second stint with the Reds.  He started the season on the Major League roster but was sent to Louisville on May 8 after hitting .188 in 27 games.  While at Louisville, Schebler hit a cool .311 with 13 home runs and 43 RBI in 75 games.  He was named International League Player of the Month in July. Schebler returned to the Reds in August after Jay Bruce was traded.  Since his return, Schebler is hitting .175 with two home runs and six RBI, including a game-winning homer against St. Louis.
