Ray is planning to call first base prospects Bob Seymour According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, it starts with Triple-A Durham before Friday’s match. With Seymour not on the 40-man roster, Tampa Bay will have to make at least one corresponding move to create space on the 40-man and 26-man roster.
Whenever he appears in his first game, the 26-year-old Seymour will make his debut in MLB. Seymour is a 13th round pick in the 2021 draft and has been productive at every level of the minor league ladder, including Durham numbers for the past two seasons. Seymour has made over 443 PA with 30 home runs in this year’s Triple-A, hitting .263/.327/.553, leading the International League with 30 home runs. Just this past Tuesday, Seymour emphasized his year through three games with Triple-A Nashville.
His 89 home runs in his 1736 career PA (and 410 games) in the minor league proved that, with Seymour’s Bats having a lot of popularity. Although Seymour’s 443 PA this season is down significantly from 34.9% of his 443 PA (at 218 PA), his strikeout efficiency has dropped significantly from 34.9% (218 PA) in 2024 to 25. He has also enjoyed some inflated babips over the past season, but in 2025, a more neutral .292 Babip shows that first basemen rely on more than a lot of good luck.
Despite all of this power, neither MLB.com nor America America lists the top 30 prospects of Seymour in the Tampa Farm System. It seems Seymour regards Seymour as the first basic player with only higher strength and hard contact skills in a limited way, but assessors may doubt whether these abilities can translate into production with Major League Baseball pitching.
Still, it’s hard to say that Seymour’s 2025 big campaign didn’t win his expression on the show. Seymour is a left-handed batsman who can replace Jonathan Aranda To some extent, in the lineup, it is mainly designated batsmen Yandy Diaz Locked at the first base. Aranda is one of the five ray position players on the injury roster, so Tampa Bay is a bit thin on the bench, with a worse idea than calling 30-Holme Slugger.
