Daniel Taylor Vogelbach (born December 17, 1992) is an American professional baseball coach and former first baseman and designated hitter who is currently an assistant hitting coach for the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball (MLB). Vogelbach played in MLB from 2016 to 2024 for the Seattle Mariners, Toronto Blue Jays, Brewers, Pittsburgh Pirates, and New York Mets. Vogelbach played baseball at Bishop Verot High School and played varsity baseball. He was drafted in the second round of the 2011 MLB draft by the Chicago Cubs. After spending multiple seasons in the Cubs farm system, Vogelbach was traded to the Mariners in July 2016 and made his MLB debut two months later. Between 2016 and 2018, Vogelbach received sporadic playing time at the major league level and was frequently sent down to the minor leagues. In 2019, Vogelbach played a career-high 144 games and received an All-Star selection for his contributions at first base and designated hitter. After starting the shortened 2020 season batting .094, Vogelbach was designated for assignment by the Mariners. He played a brief two-game stint with the Blue Jays before he was waived, finishing the season with the Brewers and remaining with the team for the 2021 season, after which he was non-tendered. Vogelbach signed with the Pirates as a free agent in 2022, and was traded to the Mets midway through the season. The Mets non-tendered him after the 2023 season, and he signed as a free agent with the Blue Jays in February 2024. Vogelbach became a coach for the Pirates in 2025, joining the Brewers after the season.
