KGGF is partnering with Taco John's of Chanute to present the Athlete of the Month, with October's winner being Neosho County baseball player Saben Seager.

 

Seager has been playing baseball since he was four years old and will be playing his sophomore season at Neosho this spring. He is from Derby, Kansas, and finished his freshman season with a 4.84 ERA in 10 appearances.

 

His favorite player is James Karinchak, an MLB relief pitcher who Seager says inspires him with his emotion and passion for the sport. Seager also enjoys lifting weights, golfing, and playing video games in his free time.

 

Saben will look to lead the Panthers rotation in the 2025 season, and continue his baseball career at the Division 1 level.
