The Rays organization’s other Virginia Tech man with a big smile (I’m looking at you Erik) has a funky delivery, with a high over the top movement that requires atypical hip movement and a strong head jerk; it’s not one you’d teach your kids, but his consistent success speaks for itself. After a strong return from Tommy John surgery in 2023, Seymour ranked among the top ten pitchers in all of minor league baseball with 162 strikeouts across Double- and Triple-A, fully regaining his pre-surgery form and 92 mph fastball. His change up is the star of the show, tunneling exceptionally well with his fastball, but if he sticks to pitching multiple TTO he has a variety of breaking balls to work with.
