Breaking Barriers in Palm Beach: Amanda Seimer Named General Manager
St. Louis, MO

JUPITER, Fla. — The St. Louis Cardinals pipeline isn’t just about players developing on the field—it’s also about leadership rising behind the scenes. The Palm Beach Cardinals have named Amanda Seimer as their new general manager, marking a significant step forward for both the organization and the broader landscape of Minor League Baseball.

Seimer, who also serves as Director of Ticket Operations at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, steps into the role after years of steady progression through the game’s front-office ranks. Her path wasn’t accidental—it was built the old-fashioned way: opportunity, persistence, and a clear sense of direction.

Raised in Kingston, Ohio, Seimer grew up competing across multiple sports, including basketball, cross country, track, and equestrian. She went on to play college basketball at Ohio University, where the foundation for her future in sports began to take shape.

“I knew once my basketball career ended, I wanted to find a way to stay in sports,” Seimer said. “I originally changed my major to be an on-field reporter and had dreams of working at ESPN. But after an internship with the Chillicothe Paints, I realized I wanted to be part of a team—part of the game itself.”

That realization set her course.

Over the years, Seimer worked her way through various roles across organizations, eventually landing at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium—one of the most unique environments in baseball, hosting two Major League clubs during Spring Training and two Florida State League teams during the season.

“It’s baseball all the time,” she said. “I love the creativity that comes with Minor League Baseball, and I love the energy of Spring Training crowds.”

From ticket operations to sales and beyond, Seimer became a fixture within the organization—earning the kind of trust that doesn’t show up in a box score but matters just the same. Her promotion to general manager is the result of a long-term commitment to the game and a steady climb through the ranks since beginning her career in 2009.

“I’ve wanted to be a general manager since I started working in baseball,” she said. “I’m grateful for the opportunity and excited for what’s ahead.”

Seimer points to trailblazer Kim Ng as a source of inspiration—someone who helped redefine what leadership in baseball can look like. Now, Seimer adds her own chapter to that story, not by making noise, but by doing the job and doing it well.

Her advice to others looking to follow a similar path is simple and grounded:

“Don’t give up. Things won’t always go the way you expect, but if you keep working toward your goals, the opportunity will come.”

Palm Beach opens its 2026 season on April 2 against St. Lucie, with additional excitement surrounding the debut of the club’s alternate identity, the “Frozen Iguanas,” on April 4.

But beyond promotions and game nights, this moment carries a little more weight.

Because while prospects develop on the field, the game itself continues to grow off it—and Amanda Seimer is now part of that next wave of leadership shaping the future of Cardinals baseball.
