DrB's 2023 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #14 Carson Seymour

 Carson Seymour RHP.   DOB:  12/16/1998.  6'6", 260 lbs.  Drafted 2021 Round 6(Mets)

2022(A- Mets):  4-0, 1.19, 30.1 IP, 8.01 K/9, 2.67 BB/9, 3.33 GB/FB.  
2022(A+- Mets):  1-5, 3.68, 51.1 IP, 11.40 K/9, 3.58 BB/9, 2.16 GB/FB.
2022(A+- Giants):  2-3, 3.99, 29.1 IP, 13.19 K/9, 3.07 BB/9, 2.00 GB/FB.

Seymour was part of the astonishing haul FZ got from the Mets for Darin Ruf at last season's trade deadline and might end up being the centerpiece for the Giants.  He's a jumbo sized pitcher who carries his weight well on a large frame.  Control/command issues in college seem to be solved after switching from a 4-seam to 2-seam FB.  Per a scouting report by Marc Delucci of SI and video posted on the Youtube, he varies the velocity on the FB but can get it up to 96 MPH.  He backs that up with a killer curve he changes shape on and uses as a strikeout pitch.  He can also throw a changeup with excellent velocity separation.  

Seymour appears poised to start the 2023 season in AA.  He still has 2 full seasons of potential development before becoming Rule 5 draft eligible but may not need that much time to be ready to make his MLB debut.
