This is Sebald's second chance at earning a place in the Major Leagues, he signed with the Texas Rangers as a non-drafted free agent in 2016.  Sebald pitched in 16 games between Arizona League Rookie ball and Spokane in A ball that summer.  He started three games, with a 1-0 and one save with a 2.61 ERA.  Sebald struck out 34 batters in 31 innings and walked 10.

Sebald was released after spring training in 2017 but didn't give up.

The last two seasons, when he wasn't playing trivia at the Cloverleaf Inn in White Oak, Sebald pitched for the Normal Cornbelters in Normal, Illinois, a member of the Frontier League.  It is the same league the Florence Freedom play in.

Sebald earned a 12-4 record with Normal.  His ERA was 3.20 with 122 strikeouts and 36 walks in 149 innings.

Sebald joins former Colerain teammate Ryan Atkinson, who pitches for the Double A Jackson Generals of the Southern League, an affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
