In the fall of 2016, while playing for the 2019 O’s, Carson began to feel some discomfort in his lower back. Thinking it was just sore, he continued to play and finished out the fall season. After taking some time off he began to prepare for his sophomore season at Fort Mill High School. During this time, the pain returned and made it hard for him to run and perform normal baseball activities. After an MRI, it was determined that Carson had sustained an overuse injury known as a Pars Defect. Due to this injury, Carson’s sophomore season ended before it started. After some extensive time off and a lot of rest, he followed the recommendation to see a chiropractor and Carson was able to return in time for the 2017 Summer and Fall Season at On Deck (Thank you, Dr. Kuchmaner). Carson still sees Dr. Kuchmaner on an “as needed” basis and feels he has really helped him stay healthy. Carson has now graduated the O’s program and signed to continue his education and playing career at Francis Marion University.
