Focus Area | Comments |
| Fastball: | Seaton throws his fastball up to 94 mph. |
| Fastball movement: | He's got pretty good sink with his two-seamer. |
| Sliders: | He's got a good slider that he threw up to 85 mph. |
| Changeup: | He's got one that should be average in the future. Right now, he doesn't use it at the right times, so it's almost counter-productive. |
| Control: | He's got pretty good command, especially for a high schooler, and doesn't hurt himself with walks. |
| Poise: | He's very good on the mound and is a very intelligent kid. |
| Physical Description: | Seaton is a big, athletic and strong right-hander who's also a pretty good hitting prospect. |
| Medical Update: | Healthy. |
| Strengths: | Strong and athletic, he's got the chance to have three at least average offerings. |
| Weaknesses: | The changeup is behind the other pitches; a strong commitment to Tulane might make him tough to sign. |
| Summary: | Texas isn't providing the usual suppy of fireballing high school arms, but Seaton is trying to represent as best he can. With a good fastball and slider, along with a changeup that should work well in the future, he's fairly polished for a high schooler. A good athlete, he's drawn some interest as a hitter as well and if the position or the bonus isn't right, the bright right-hander could head to Tulane as a two-way player. |
