Steven Duggar is back in South Carolina and working with youth baseball players after retiring from Major League Baseball.
baseball player Steven Duggar had hoped his Major League career would last longer. But, after 271 career games and a number of injuries, he opted to retire after the 2023 season.While Duggar was born in Spartanburg, his wife is from Summerville. So when it came time for the 30-year-old and his family to settle down, they picked her hometown.
He's enjoying Lowcountry living in Summerville, his wife's hometown, and hoping to put some fresh faces on the same path he took.Duggar is early in his coaching career, so he admits he’s going off what “my eyes see.” But, at Extra Effort Sports, players have access to seven large batting cages and two bullpen areas that are video monitored and recorded for security — and for play-back with coaches.
Duggar played high school baseball at Byrnes High School in Duncan, S.C., before he played for Clemson from 2013-15. The Tigers reached the NCAA Tournament all three seasons. He earned a call-up three years after his draft selection and batted .255 in 141 at-bats in 2018. He hit two home runs and drove in 17 runs while playing center field. But he tore the labrum in his left shoulder that August and, as it turned out, that was the start of a premature end to his career.
