Scouting report
There's no change to Seigler's blurb, though I will note that as I discussed this list with scouting sources there was some push/pull regarding him. He was a unicorn prospect as an amateur but was old for a high schooler, and he'll be nearly 22 when the season starts despite having only played in 54 pro games. Since signing, Seigler has been snakebitten by various injuries and has barely played, catching just over 40 games in parts of two seasons amid hamstring and quad issues, a concussion, a fractured patella, and then the pandemic. This was once the most interesting prospect on the planet, a baseball oddity: a switch-hitting catcher who was also an ambidextrous reliever. Unlikely to develop relevant power, Seigler needs to actualize both his high school contact skills and ball/strike recognition to make enough offensive impact to play every day. But right now the goal is just for him to play every day at all. (At-home dev)
