Ian Seymour

26-Year-Old PitcherRP
Tampa Bay Rays
2025 Fantasy Outlook
An older lefty who turned 26 this offseason and had Tommy John surgery in 2022, Seymour dominated Double-A and Triple-A hitters in 2024 to the tune of a 2.48 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 162:41 K:BB in 145.1 innings. He actually made two starts at Triple-A late in 2021 just to keep pitching after the High-A season wrapped up. Seymour's fastball velocity isn't great (sits in the low-90s), but it's got good movement, and he's incredibly crafty. He's got a plus changeup and a quality cutter, and that might be enough to get by against big-league hitters if he can throw strikes and pitch with confidence. The Rays have a plethora of rotation options, but Seymour is on the 40-man roster and should be heard from at some point this season. Given his poor fastball velocity and relatively shallow repertoire, he'll have a small margin for error as a starter, and the Rays could opt to have him work as a bulk reliever initially.

Cruises through seven in win
PTampa Bay Rays
September 17, 2025
Seymour (4-2) earned the win Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing one unearned run on four hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings.
Analysis
The left-hander was sharp throughout, with Toronto's lone run coming in the fourth inning after a defensive miscue on a potential double-play ball extended the frame. Seymour has been hurt by poor defense lately, as he's surrendered 13 runs over his last four starts despite only four being earned. He's been excellent during that stretch, pitching to a 1.69 ERA with a 21:6 K:BB across 21.1 innings. Wednesday's outing also marked the longest start of Seymour's short career, surpassing his previous high of 5.1 innings from his previous start. The 26-year-old is slated to face Baltimore in his next outing.
