Carey Schueler

Carey A. Schueler (born April 15, 1974) is the first woman ever drafted by a Major League Baseball (MLB) team.

Drafting by the White Sox
Schueler played baseball at Campolindo High School in Moraga, California as a left-handed pitcher. In 1993, Schueler became the first woman to be drafted by an MLB team when the Chicago White Sox picked her directly out of high school in the 43rd round (1208th pick overall) of the 1993 MLB draft. Prior to Schueler's drafting, the MLB had a ban in place on signing contracts for women; following her drafting by the White Sox, the rule was rescinded.

At the time of her drafting, Schueler was also a basketball star for her high school's basketball team. She did not sign with the White Sox, and instead attended and played basketball for DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois before transferring to St. Mary's College of California, in Moraga, where she continued to play until an injury in 1996.
