Chris Seelbach  
Starting Pitcher | New York Mets

Pitching
Seelbach can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Because he can't overpower hitters, Seelbach has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Seelbach helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Seelbach is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Seelbach has some pop in his swing.
