US Edition'Blood Everywhere' - Ex-College Baseball Player Alleges 'Brutal' Hazing By Teammates
- A lawsuit filed on Wednesday in a federal court in New York accuses Seton Hall University's baseball team of severe hazing during the fall 2024 season.
- The suit claims that soon after the freshman pitcher arrived in August 2024, he faced forced head shaving, coerced sexual exposure, degrading rituals, and physical assaults by upperclassmen.
- Despite the pitcher's father's reports and coach Rob Sheppard's assurances to stop the hazing, the abuse, including a sexualized 'Lotus' ritual, allegedly continued unabated throughout September 2024.
- The complaint details physical injuries, significant academic harm, severe emotional distress, and claims that the coach and university failed to investigate or discipline perpetrators, allowing a hostile environment to persist.
- As a result, the pitcher transferred to a Division III program losing a season of eligibility, diminishing his visibility and professional prospects, while the lawsuit demands damages and anti-hazing policy reforms at Seton Hall.
