Here's a little history... it's an awesome story about a very gifted (selfless) baseball player and ARMY Ranger.
Karl is from Florida. In high school, Karl attended Port St. Lucie High where he was a two-time All Area football player and a two-time All State baseball player. In February 2006, Karl enlisted in the ARMY. Immediately following his training, Karl was deployed for a 6 month tour in Afghanistan. Karl returned to the U.S. in the spring of 2007 and within a month he was deployed to Iraq for a 24 month tour.
Upon completing his military service, Karl returned to Florida where he played JUCO ball for Brevard Community College. At BCC, Karl was an All-Southern Conference First Team selection. In 2009, he batted .361 with six home runs and 38 RBI. In 2010, he batted .329, with a team-leading 49 hits, 12 doubles, three home runs and 48 RBI.
In addition to his BCC baseball resume, Karl's military service allowed him to play for an organization know as Heroes of the Diamond. This group plays 100 games annually and conducts over 350 appearances, including international Friendship Tours throughout a 9 month season. The Heroes of the Diamond play many amateur and professional teams. In March 2009, Seiter led the HOD team with 2 hits against the Red Sox.
Karl currently is a senior at LCU where he plays 1B/DH. In 2011, Karl batted .333 with 8 HRs and 50 RBIs, enroute to winning 50 games for the season, ending in the 2011 NAIA National Championship game.
