Sisco made his professional debut that season for the Gulf Coast Orioles and ended the year with the Aberdeen IronBirds.[7] He finished his first year hitting .363/.468/.451 with one home run and 11 RBIs in 33 games.[8] Sisco played the 2014 season with the Delmarva Shorebirds.[2] He won the SAL batting title after hitting .340 with five home runs, 63 RBIs and a .854 on-base plus slugging (OPS).[9] In 2015, he played for the Frederick Keys and the Bowie Baysox where he batted a combined .297 with six home runs and 34 RBIs in 95 games. After the season he played in the Arizona Fall League.[10][11] Sisco played 2016 with Bowie and the Norfolk Tides.[12] In July, he played in the All-Star Futures Game.[13][14] In 116 games between the two clubs he slashed .317/.403/.430 with six home runs and 51 RBIs. Sisco spent 2017 with Norfolk where he batted .267 with four home runs and 47 RBIs in 97 games before being recalled by Baltimore.[15]

Sisco received his first-ever promotion to the Orioles on September 1, 2017.[16] He made his MLB debut the following night as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning of a 7–2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays at Camden Yards.[17] He achieved his first major league hit with a pinch-hit double off Masahiro Tanaka in the seventh, then followed it up with his first home run off Giovanny Gallegos in his subsequent plate appearance two innings later in a 13–5 defeat to the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on September 14.[18]

In 2018, Sisco made the Orioles opening day roster after hitting .419 in spring training. He was expected to be the backup catcher to Caleb Joseph.[3] However, after batting only .218/.340/.328 in 47 games, he was optioned to Norfolk.[19] He ended batting .181 on the season.
