Career
[edit]Sandridge attended Grace Academy in Hagerstown, Maryland, and Mercersburg Academy in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania.[1] The Baltimore Orioles selected him in the 32nd round, with the 955th overall selection, of the 2018 MLB draft. He signed with the Orioles rather than enroll at the University of Central Florida.[2]
Sandridge played in Minor League Baseball for the Orioles organization for two years, but was one of 46 players released by the organization in May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He played college baseball at Lynn University after his release and signed with the Cincinnati Reds in 2021.[3]
On February 9, 2025, Sandridge signed a minor league contract with the New York Yankees. In 10 appearances split between the Single-A Tampa Tarpons, High-A Hudson Valley Renegades, and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, he posted a combined 1-1 record and 3.00 ERA with 20 strikeouts and two saves over 12 innings of work. On June 19, Sandridge was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[4] He was optioned to Triple-A the following day without making an appearance, but was promoted again on June 22[5] and was optioned without making an appearance the next day. On July 4, Sandridge was promoted to the major leagues for a third time.[6] He made his MLB debut on July 5.[7]
