Daniel has been in a relationship with Kristina since he used to play for the Mariners.
Born on 17 December 1992 as Daniel Taylor Vogelbach to parents Dan Vogelbach and Jennie Vogelbach, he is an American professional baseball player native to north Fort Myers, Florida.
After graduating from Bishop Verot High School, Vogelbach enrolled at the University of Florida and played for their baseball team, Flordia Gators.
Aside from baseball, Daniel also played football and basketball during his time with the Gators. Having an elder brother, Josh, an athlete who played on international soil, inspired Vogelbach to pursue sports as his career.
Thanks to his showings in college, where he even hit nine home runs with a batting average of .551 senior year, he was drafted into the league via the 2011 MLB draft.
Vogelbah was selected in the second round by the Chicago Cubs. After spending a few years in the minor league, he finally debuted professionally in September 2016 with the Seattle Mariners against the Angels. Cubs had traded him and one other player in July earlier that year.
With seven seasons under his belt, Daniel has a batting average of .218 and has 67 home runs registered to his name, which is good for a designated hitter.
Currently, with the Mets, Vogelbach has been on an eventful ride as a professional and his spouse has been there for the most part to experience it all.
