2026 review
Ian Seymour worked as a long man in the Tampa Bay pen who stretched into real length, posting a 4.21 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 132.2 IP with a 28.7 K% and a 6.5 BB% over 551 BF across 47 games and 16 starts, picking up 9 W, 2 SV and 10 HLD. His workload climbed steadily through the year, from 0.2 IP in Mar up to 35.0 IP in Aug before settling at 19.1 IP in Sep. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 327, he finished 299th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 28 spots above, and 60th of 575 relievers. His 4.21 ERA ran 0.66 above his 3.55 xERA over 551 BF. The TDK LABS card tracked his path from a low-leverage arm picking up an early save in May, to a watch note in mid-Jun, to a confirmed bulk/multi-inning role by mid-Jun that it said drove his ratio and spot-win value more than any setup chance, and by late Sep it was crediting an elite strikeout rate and top-tier control anchoring his profile.
