Seth Corry

Selected in the third round of the 2017 draft, Seth Corry is a promising young arm in the San Francisco Giants farm system.

Last season with Single-A Augusta, he finished with a 9-3 record and a 1.76 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 122.2 innings.

Still just 21 years old, he racked up 172 strikeouts for a 12.6 K/9 strikeout rate, which definitely jumps of the page.

He was named Pitcher of the Year in the South Atlantic League for his breakout season, which included a 32-inning scoreless streak, an impressive feat at any level.

The left-hander is still a couple of years away from reaching the majors, but if he continues to develop at this rate, he will emerged as a key piece of the team’s rebuilding efforts.
