At Nebraska, Sears earned third-team All-America honors from the NCBWA and first-team All-Big 12 honors in 1997, batting .421 with 17 homers and 79 RBIs in 62 contests and was drafted in 3rd round of the 1997 Major League Baseball Draft by the Colorado Rockies.

Minor leagues

Todd Sears spent parts of two seasons in the Major Leagues, splitting time between the Minnesota Twins and San Diego Padres. He was called up by Minnesota on Sept. 17, 2002, hitting .333 with two doubles and three runs scored in seven contests.

Personal life

Shawn Sedlacek established Sed Sports, Inc. in 2006 with the goal of giving back to the game that had meant so much and played such a huge role in his life. In 2013, Shawn Sedlacek, Todd Sears, and Matt Williams decided to partner and establish Complete Game Baseball to continue the growth of the organization in pursuit of Shawn’s dream back in 2006 to give back to the game.^[1]
