Seamon is already 6-foot-5 as a high school junior. He’s an elite athlete with great speed to pair with his growing power. He’s a right-handed thrower who has played some infield but likely projects to the outfield because of his length and speed.
Seamon is considered a draft risk, and he would not be a draft-eligible sophomore as he is young for his class.
