Fittingly enough, next on our countdown is another Seymour. This time it’s Virginia Tech pitcher Ian Seymour.
As a freshman in 2018, Ian posted a 4.17 ERA in 69 innings with 70 strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.30 over 13 starts and 1 relief appearance.
This past season with Virginia Tech he improved his ERA to 3.97 over 70 innings and increased his strikeout total to 81.
He built upon that and had a great showing in the Cape Cod League with a 2.49 ERA in 5 starts and 25.1 innings pitched with 39 strikeouts and a WHIP of just 1.04.
If the improvements we saw from Ian in his sophomore season and this past summer continue into his junior season, he will quickly move up draft boards.
