Seth comes from a baseball family. Father was good pitcher, cousin was incredible. I played with both. Grandmother was a lunatic in the stands (in a good way for the home team!!)
When he was in 9th or 10th grade, Seth and his brother transferred high schools to our neighboring town. They had a much better baseball program. Caused a bit of an uproar, but went through. His brother was a catcher and great player himself - played at WVU and then in the Twins organization.
Anyway, the high school he transferred to had a really good team and GREAT pitcher. Seth was the 2nd man in the rotation his younger years. The coach pitched the older kid into the ground. He went to Penn State on a full ride. but had serous arm issues almost immediately and never finished his eligibility.
After seeing the handling of the older boy, I am told that when he recruited Seth that Coach Carbone made the HS coach put Seth on pitch count - to protect his arm.
He was also, I understand, well managed at Ohio. So all of this management, and he still hurts his shoulder. Shame. Hopefully he gets his arm back and can prove his talent.
