Early life

Avent attended North Carolina State University, and had intentions of playing college baseball for the Wolfpack, but when he saw the way Sammy Esposito treated other players Avent considered better than him, he decided to not try out for the team.[2]

In 1993, Avent managed the Brewster Whitecaps, a collegiate summer baseball team in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League.[3]
