Seager enjoyed three great seasons as a Tar Heel where he notched a .353 batting average with 155 runs and 258 hits to help the team reach the College World Series all three years. His 30 doubles as a sophomore still stands as the single-season program record 16 years later and the 66 across his career is the second most all-time. While in Chapel Hill, he earned second-team All-America, All-Atlantic Region, All-ACC, and All-College World Series Team honors before being selected in the third round of the 2009 MLB Draft by the Seattle Mariners. He would debut for the big league club in 2011, spending his entire 11-year career in Seattle playing 1,480 games, hitting .251, and scoring 705 runs. 2014 was the pinnacle year in the majors for Seager, as he was named to the AL All-Star Team and earned a Rawlings Gold Glove for his excellent play at third base for the Mariners.
