Carson Seymour Delivers Five Shutout Innings, Allows Just One Hit
1 year agoSan 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.
