BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER The way Steven Seiser dives after balls, it is difficult to tell there were times the past two seasons he could barely walk. The Granada Hills senior sat out last season because of a back injury that was eventually diagnosed as a fractured vertebra vertebra /ver·te·bra/ (ver´te-brah) pl. ver´tebrae [L.] any of the 33 bones of the vertebral (spinal) column, comprising 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 4 coccygeal vertebrae . , requiring surgery a little more than a year ago.

Baseball The infielder who is positioned near and to the first-base side of second base. Noun 1. second baseman - (baseball) the person who plays second base second sacker and team leader, who entered the week batting .350. ``I was happy to be able to play again,'' said Seiser, who still experiences occasional pain in his back, but not to the extent he had since early in his sophomore season. The Highlanders were more doubtful than Seiser was about his ability to play at full strength. ``Once he got cleared, I was hesitant,'' said coach James Mulcahy, who describes Seiser as the team's most physical, hard-nosed player. ``I didn't test him. I'd hit grounders right at him. He said, `Coach, I'm cleared. I can do everything, don't go easy on me.' ... He doesn't hold back. He's the type who dives after every ball.'' Seiser is not sure how the injury occurred. He is more concerned with giving credit to his surgeon and the doctor who made a diagnosis after several others had said there was no problem despite pain that prevented him from batting as a sophomore. ``They said I was fine,'' Seiser said. ``A doctor told me I'm psycho. They said there was nothing wrong, but I knew there was. I couldn't run. Sometimes I couldn't even get up. It was so frustrating.''
