LSU sophomore pitcher Mitch Sewald has resigned from school and is no longer a part of the Tiger baseball team, coach Paul Mainieri told reporters Thursday.
Sewald served a four game suspension to begin the season as punishment for a drunken driving arrest in November. Since the suspension, he had not recorded an appearance for the Tigers.
“It’s personal reasons and that’s all I’m going to say about it,” Mainieri said. “He did dis-enroll and I’m not exactly sure what his future plans are. Let’s just classify it as personal reasons.”
The Archbishop Rummel product had two appearances in relief last season, pitching 3 1/3 innings with three strikeouts and allowing two unearned runs.
