Scouting report
Seymour is another Rays prospect who scouts liked during Fall instructs, and another of the several who exhibited a bump in velocity. My pre-draft report had him in the sinker/slider pitchability bucket, but in the Fall suddenly Seymour was sitting 93-96 with a plus, mid-80s changeup that he was throwing in any count, and a slider with an unusually wide velocity range, anywhere from 82 to 87 mph. He comes at hitters from the extreme third base side of the rubber and has a pretty gnarly head whack, so there's effort-based relief risk here. That keeps him behind some of the other high-upside arms in the system. I have Seymour projected as a multi-inning leverage relief prospect now. (Fall Instructional League)
