\n

Former major league infielder Sean Burroughs died of fentanyl intoxication, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The office, in a report filed on its website, also declared the death accidental.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Burroughs was 43 when he died May 9 in the parking lot of a youth baseball field in Long Beach, Calif., where he had taken his son.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The son of 1974 American League MVP Jeff Burroughs, the third baseman was selected with the No. 9 overall pick by the San Diego Padres in 1998. He made his major league debut in April 2002, recorded the first walk-off hit for the Padres in Petco Park history in 2004 and was out of baseball in 2007 before returning to play from 2011-12.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Growing up in Long Beach, Burroughs won consecutive Little League World Series championships in 1992 and ’93, throwing back-to-back no-hitters. He then went on to star at Long Beach Wilson High. He also was a 2000 Olympic gold medalist and a first-round pick in the MLB draft. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

He admitted in an interview with ESPN in June 2011 that he left the game because he didn’t have the passion to play anymore and in subsequent years, he was a substance abuser. After deciding he needed a life change, he moved back into his childhood home, under the house rules, and worked himself back into baseball shape to make an MLB comeback that lasted 88 games.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Burroughs played for the Padres from 2002-05 and was traded to Tampa Bay in late 2005. The Rays released him the following August. After a brief stint in the Seattle Mariners organization, he walked away.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

He signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2011 and ended his MLB career in 2012 after 10 games with the Minnesota Twins.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

In his major league career, Burroughs appeared in 528 games, batted .278, hit 12 home runs and drove in 143.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
