Ian Seymour Leading Triple-A In Strikeouts
Ian Seymour allowed two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out nine in his latest start at Triple-A Durham this past Saturday. The southpaw leads Triple-A pitchers in strikeouts with 55 on the season, good for a 32.5 percent strikeout rate. Paired with good command -- walking batters at just a 5.9 percent rate -- the 26-year-old boasts a 26.6 percent K-BB% with a 1.96 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through seven starts (eight appearances, 41 1/3 IP). Owning a 2.42 career ERA in the minors with ever-present strikeout stuff (career 31.2 percent), the lefty appears to be closer than ever to a major league debut. Managers looking for ratio help should consider picking up the Rays' 19th-ranked prospect whenever he gets the call.
