Being drafted wasn’t even a consideration for Seth Lancaster following his junior season in 2017.

Besides, he had other matters that were more pressing.

After batting .326 as a sophomore to help Coastal Carolina reach the College World Series in 2016, Lancaster had a right eye injury that led to a .250 average as a junior and threatened his future in baseball.

Lasik eye surgery last July cured his eye issue, allowing the graduated senior to have one of the better offensive seasons in the country and again become a pro prospect.
