The Milwaukee Brewers added a special connection to their organization on Tuesday, as Carsten Sabathia officially signed with the franchise. The move came on the same day his father, former Brewers standout CC Sabathia, celebrated his 46th birthday, making the occasion even more memorable for the Sabathia family.
Sabathia took to X (formerly Twitter), to celebrate the milestone by sharing a photo capturing the memorable moment for his family.
Carsten’s selection by the Brewers in the 20th round of the 2026 MLB Draft created a special connection between the family and the organization. The move represents a full-circle moment, with the son of a former Milwaukee pitcher now beginning his own professional baseball path with the same franchise.
CC Sabathia’s legacy continued with the Milwaukee Brewers
Sabathia’s connection to Milwaukee dates back to the 2008 season, when the Brewers acquired the former Cy Young winner from Cleveland. Although his time with the franchise lasted only briefly before he joined the New York Yankees the following offseason, he left a lasting impression on the organization and its fan base.
Carsten entered the 2026 MLB Draft after a productive senior year at Houston, where he established himself as a key contributor in the infield. The former Cougar ranked second on the team with a .511 slugging percentage and was recognized for his defensive work by earning All-Silver Glove Series Team honors.
Carsten’s signing with the Brewers completes a poignant circle for the Sabathia family, connecting father and son through the same franchise nearly two decades after CC’s brief but impactful stint in Milwaukee.
The timing of his father’s birthday makes the moment even more special, creating a memory that transcends baseball.
