After finishing 25-25 and 9-9 in the Big East a season ago, the Seton Hall baseball team will look to take another step forward in 2016.
Right-handed starter Shane McCarthy took the conference by storm in his freshman year. The 6-foot-2-inch Fair Haven, N.J. native broke onto the scene as a full-fledged star.
He was named to the 2015 Freshman All-American team after leading the Big East with a 2.19 ERA and finishing with the fewest runs, earned runs and walks allowed among conference starters.
Last year, his rise to stardom was a pleasant surprise for Seton Hall.
