Prentice Redman's Baseball Journey
Playing for the New York Mets
Prentice Redman started his professional baseball journey when the New York Mets picked him in the 10th round of the 1999 Major League Baseball draft. Before that, he played baseball in high school at Tuscaloosa Academy. He also attended Bevill State Community College.
In 2001, while playing for the St. Lucie Mets, Redman was chosen for the Florida State League All-Star team. This was a big achievement for him.
Redman made his first appearance in Major League Baseball on August 24, 2003. He played for the Mets against the Los Angeles Dodgers. His very first hit in the big leagues was a double. This happened on September 2, against the Atlanta Braves. That season, Redman had a batting average of .125.
Time in the Minor Leagues
After playing with the Mets organization until 2005, Redman continued his career in the minor leagues. He played for teams connected to the Washington Nationals and the St. Louis Cardinals. From 2007 to 2009, he was part of the Seattle Mariners' farm system.
In 2009, Redman played for the Tacoma Rainiers, a Triple-A team. He had a good season, hitting .297 in 108 games.
In 2010, Redman signed a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was sent to their Triple-A team, the Albuquerque Isotopes. Before his season ended, Redman was hitting .332. He also hit 10 home runs and had 41 runs batted in (RBI).
Playing Independent Baseball
In 2011, Prentice Redman began playing independent baseball. This means he played for teams not directly linked to Major League Baseball organizations. He played for the Bridgeport Bluefish in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball (APBL). He also played for the Kansas City T-Bones and the Olmecas de Tabasco in Mexico.
Redman returned to the Bluefish after the 2011 season. He continued to play for them until the start of the 2015 season.
Joining the Long Island Ducks
On May 1, 2015, the Bridgeport Bluefish traded Redman to the Long Island Ducks. He returned to Bridgeport on May 5, 2015, but this time as a visitor. In his first turn at bat, he hit a single against his former teammate, D. J. Mitchell. Redman left the Ducks on July 28, 2015.
