A look at Sean Gilmartin’s career as a professional baseball player.

Gilmartin’s career as a baseball player started after he was assigned to the Florida State University Seminoles on February 10, 2010.

McEnany was thrilled to learn of her husband’s acceptance into the Tampa MLB team as Tampa is her hometown and a place she shares a deep connection with the city. Although Gilmartin has spent many years representing various MLB teams, he elected free agency on November 7, 2021, and has yet to be assigned to another MLB team.

Sean Gilmartin’s cousin once worked for his wife, Kayleigh McEnany.

Between April 2020 and January 2021, which marked the end of former President Donald Trump’s term as the 45th U.S. President, McEnany served as the White House Press Secretary.
