Personal life

Steinmetz hails from Woodmere, New York and is Orthodox Jewish, keeping the Jewish Sabbath (which runs from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday—during which time he will play, but walk to and from the stadium, and not ride in a car, bus, or plane), and eats only kosher food.

The Diamondbacks and Steinmetz put in a lot of effort in order to accommodate his religion and baseball such as the ordering of kosher food. [33]
