DrB's 2019 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #26 Seth Corry

Seth Corry, LHP.  DOB:  11/3/1998.  6'2", 195 lbs.  Drafted 2017 Round 3 #96 overall.

2018 R:  3-1, 2.61, 38 IP, 9.95 K/9, 4.03 BB/9, 1.44 GB/FB.
2018 Short Season:  1-2, 5.49, 19.2 IP, 7.78 K/9, 6.86 BB/9, 1.30 GB/FB.

Seth Corry was the last of 3 consecutive HS prospects the Giants selected at the top of the 2017 draft.  He is out of Utah with a strong, sturdy body with a raw but promising repertoire of pitches.  He's run very hot and cold as a pro with dominant performances when he has command of his pitches and very high BB rates when he doesn't.  There was more of that in 2018 but he seemed to have more good appearances than bad, so in that sense maybe made progress.  He has a low 90's FB.  His curveball is his best pitch and his changeup shows promise with fade and tumble according to Baseball Census scouting report.  On video, the delivery is more "tall and fall" than drop and drive with a high 3/4 release, but on lateral views he does get good extension toward the plate.

It seems like pitcher-friendly Augusta would be a good place for him to continue putting his game together in 2019.  At age 20 and with 3 more seasons before he is Rule 5 Draft eligible, he still has time on his side.
