He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Oakland Athletics.
Maxwell is the first MLB player to join other US athletes protesting racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem.
Maxwell was born on a U.S. military installation in Wiesbaden, Germany, while his father, Bruce Jr., was stationed there with the U.S. Army during a tour of duty.
He is a Biracial-American, Father African-American, Mother White-American.
Maxwell played first base at Sparkman High School in Alabama.
He then played first base and catcher in college baseball at Division III Birmingham–Southern College in Alabama.
The Oakland Athletics selected Maxwell in the second round of the 2012 Major League Baseball draft.
He made his debut that year with the AZL Athletics, and was promoted to the Vermont Lake Monsters of the Low-A New York-Pennsylvania League after six games.
For Vermont, he batted .254 with 22 RBIs and was charged with 18 passed balls in 38 games.
In 2013, playing for both the Beloit Snappers in the Single-A Midwest League and the Stockton Ports in the High-A California League, he was charged with 17 passed balls.

He batted .275 with seven home runs and 49 RBIs in 104 games between both teams.

In 2015, he spent the whole season at Midland, batting .243/.321/.308 in 96 games.
Maxwell began 2016 with the Nashville Sounds of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.
Maxwell was called up to the majors for the first time on July 23, 2016.
He made his major league debut that night.

Maxwell began 2017 with Nashville and was recalled and optioned multiple times before he was called up to Oakland for the remainder of the season on June 22.

On September 23, 2017, Maxwell became the first MLB player to join other US athletes protesting racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem; Maxwell placed his hand over his heart, and teammate Mark Canha stood next to Maxwell and put a hand on his shoulder in support.
Maxwell's actions came in response to President Donald Trump's comments that professional football franchise owners should fire players who knelt during the anthem.
On Twitter and through his agent, Maxwell said his decision to kneel represented concern for racial injustice as well as freedom of speech and exercise of peaceful protest.
The Oakland Athletics immediately issued a statement saying the team "pride[s] ourselves on being inclusive" and supports "players' constitutional rights and freedom of expression."
While supported by the A's, Maxwell's future career in the MLB was seen as impacted by the reaction to his kneeling.
Maxwell began 2018 with Oakland.
He was placed on the restricted list on May 16 when the Athletics entered Canada to play the Toronto Blue Jays, as he was not eligible for entry into Canada as he had not yet been sentenced for his assault with a deadly weapon charge that was placed in the previous off-season.
He was designated for assignment on September 1, 2018.
For the season with the A's, he batted .182/.207/.309 with one home run.
He elected free agency on November 2, 2018.
He remained the only MLB player to protest by kneeling until 2020, when the league allowed for "Black Lives Matter" patches and organized league-wide kneeling for social justice in the aftermath of the nationwide protests of the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis.
Subsequently, Maxwell said that while eating at a restaurant with a city councilman with whom he had attended high school, Devyn Keith, and another friend in Maxwell's hometown of Huntsville, Alabama, a waiter objected to Maxwell's protest and refused to serve their table.
The waiter denied the story, saying he did not know who Maxwell was.
On July 27, 2020, the New York Mets signed Maxwell to a minor-league deal, pending physical and a negative COVID-19 test.
Maxwell did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He re-signed with the Mets on a new minor league deal on November 2, 2020.
In 9 games for the Triple-A Syracuse Mets in 2021, Maxwell slashed .174/.355/.348 with 1 home run and 6 RBI.
