In his first season with U Penn, Seth made two starts and three total appearances in left field in an eight-game season due to the global pandemic. He started out very strong getting his first collegiate hit which was an RBI single in Penn’s 16-1 win against FIU.

With his solid tools he was able to aid his team with three walks and seven runs scored in the Ivy series sweep of Cornell that season. Seth is a leader on and off the field captaining his senior baseball team leading them to a district championship and with his power he is sure to make a big impact on this Bombers team.
