Corey Seager to Dodgers: Video Highlights, Scouting Report and Analysis

Position: 3B

Height/Weight: 6’4”/190 lbs

Bats/Throws: L/R

DOB: 4/27/1994

High School: Northwest Cabarrus (North Carolina)

College Commitment: South Carolina

The younger brother of Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager, Corey is a tall and projectable left-handed hitter who plays top-notch defense at the hot corner. He exhibits natural instincts in the field and possesses surprising speed. He has soft hands and a smooth transfer, and has popped 90 mph across the infield.

At the plate, Seager has impressive raw bat speed and the ball jumps off his bat. However, he has a hitch in his swing that makes him vulnerable to quality velocity, and will likely need some experience to iron it out.

Committed to South Carolina, Seager’s game strongly parallels his brother’s, and he may be a player who benefits from honoring his college commitment. Although he’s advanced for a prep player, it’s doubtful that Seager makes his big league debut before the 2017 season.

Analysis: B/R staffer Will Leivenberg, an avid Dodgers fan, has no idea who the team's current big league starter is at the hot corner (it's Jerry Hairston, Jr). That should tell you that this team needs a viable third baseman in the farm system, and it now has one.
