Blair Carson played his High School Baseball at Westside HS, and then
was a standout right handed pitcher and position player at Anderson University.
In fact, at the the end of his 4 years of college Blair became Anderson U's all-time
leader in HR's, doubles, hits, RBI's, and runs scored. He then went on to pitch for
the Cincinnati Reds in their minor league system for 2 years and is now back in Anderson.

Interestingly, Blair played on one of the first HS summer teams Seth coached when he first opened Blue Chip and stood out on that team as well. If you get to know Blair you'll realize he is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and has the perfect personality for being a great instructor. We are excited to have Blair on the staff.
