Carson Seymour Named Pacific Coast Pitcher Of The Week
San Francisco Giants pitching prospect Carson Seymour was named Pacific Coast Pitcher of the Week. Seymour was sharp in his start on April 3. He tossed five shutout frames and allowed just two hits and one free pass. He struck out five batters. Seymour also enjoyed a strong outing in the season opener on March 28 when he logged four innings of three-hit ball. In that start, he tallied eight punchouts and allowed just one walk with no runs. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress at Triple-A, as he should be in the mix for his MLB debut later this summer. Last season, Seymour held a modest 4.82 ERA with a 1.57 WHIP across 134 1/3 innings of work with Triple-A Sacramento. If the 26-year-old continues to perform well, he could contend for an early MLB debut.
Carson Seymour Delivers Five Shutout Innings, Allows Just One Hit
San Francisco Giants pitching prospect Carson Seymour is a former Mets sixth-round pick who was shipped to the West Coast as part of a five-player trade last August. The 24-year-old boasts a mid-90s sinker with impressive life and an upper-80s cutter that dashes towards left-handed batters with nasty break. A curveball and changeup round out his repertoire, offering an important change of pace to keep opponents off guard. Since being drafted, he has developed impressive control and an ability to induce more weak ground balls. During his start on Aug. 1, Seymour lasted five full innings, allowing just one hit, zero walks, and zero runs. To put icing on the cake, of the 15 batters that the right-hander retired, a whopping nine went down via the strikeout. He was quite effective in the outing and seems destined to reach Triple-A by the end of the season.
