In 2017 Steinacker already reached 6th place at the German championships and became German university runner-up.

In 2019, Steinacker threw 61.08 meters over the 60 mark for the first time on April 11 at the evening sports festival Wurf SC Neubrandenburg and on May 26, at the 5th  junior meeting of SC Neubrandenburg with 63.24 meters, he met the standard of 61.20 meters for the world championships in Doha .
