Early career 生涯初期
Zeile broke into the majors in 1989 as a catcher and the Cardinals' most anticipated prospect of the year. Cardinals manager Joe Torre wanted to make room for catcher Tom Pagnozzi and believed Zeile would be a more productive hitter and would have a longer career if he moved from behind the plate, so Zeile moved, with some reluctance, initially to first base and then to third base in 1990.
Zeile於1989年以捕手身分進入大聯盟，並且成為紅雀隊該年最受期待的新人。紅雀隊總教練Joe Torre希望能給捕手Tom Pagnozzi上場空間，並且相信Zeile如果不擔任捕手將會成為更有威力的打者，並且擁有更長的職業生涯，所以1990年Zeile不情願的轉換守備位置，起初擔任一壘手，後來轉任三壘手。
