A trial claims that a former Seton Hall launcher has been the subject of hazing by his teammates, including coarse sexual acts.
The former launcher, whose name was not publicly identified, said that he “spat blood everywhere” during an incident, and that hazing destroyed his dream of making the big leagues.
The trial claims that the bare and violent struggle, as well as a masturbation ritual, are only some of the hazing incidents.

The trial player claims that he was forced to show his genitals to other players, and he was called “p — y” when he did not have to.
“What’s going on in the locker room is sick and sick things,” the player told the New York Post.
The trial alleys that head coach Rob Sheppard and the school had ignored complaints and “did not investigate or disciplined the authors, allowing toxic culture to persist”.
“There must be some responsibility taken by the coach,” said the player. “He must place his foot and take control of this whole situation and try to improve things.”
The player finally left the team and left school, even before playing a game.
“It was a dark period for me-I was sad, depressed,” he said. “I was in the landfills every day.”

The trial claims that the player’s move in a school in division III “cost him an eligibility season and … reduce his visibility and his professional baseball prospects”.
“To spend all my life trying to get to this point, and I finally arrived, then I had it all, and that gave up my whole career,” said the player.
The university sent the following declaration to PK Press Club Digital:
“Seton Hall is firmly determined to promote a safe, respectful and inclusive environment. When learning certain allegations earlier this year, the university quickly preserved a third-party investigator respected at the national level to carry out an independent and in-depth exam. While disputes are underway, we are unable to comment more at that time.”
