Professional career The Pittsburgh Pirates selected Polcovich in the 30th round of the 1992 MLB draft. Expectations were very low for the Pirates, but perhaps none were lower than for Polcovich, who was bagging groceries to help support himself during spring training. When the Pirates' starting shortstop was injured in May, Polcovich got his call-up to the majors, and the former bag boy was now the new starting shortstop. He quickly became the anchor of the Pirates infield and helped the team compete for the NL Central Division until the final week of the season, when they were finally eliminated by ultimate division champions, the Houston Astros.

Polcovich only played one more year of major league baseball. Kaden was drafted in the third round of the 2020 MLB draft by the Seattle Mariners. He attended Northwest Florida State College and Oklahoma State University. Teagan played volleyball for Missouri State University after being coached by Lisa in high school.
