Corey Seager

If you guys didn't know, I'm a big fan of the Seattle Mariners All Star outfielder, Kyle Seager. Recently I've been informed about his little brother, Corey Seager, who's expectations are higher than his brothers. He was actually called up to the majors later than most prospects. He didn't get called up until just this year, at age 21, probably because he's playing for the stacked Los Angeles Dodgers team.. But his performances seem to show he's got just what it takes to be an all star. The question is, Will he ensure a spot on the Dodgers roster?

I know what your thinking. Why would the Dodgers disregard a potential superstar. Here's why. He actually was not a big prospect. He wasn't even MLB worthy based on his minor league play, which was good, but not "we HAVE to bring this guy up" good. The only reason he is currently in the majors is because of an injury. That's the real reason he's here. So although he looks like a player that would be a sin to send down. But most players with an outburst like him usually ends up being not as goos as they look. Finally, his swing isn't exactly a powerful swing. There's nothing too wrong with his fundamentals, but his swing just doesn't look the same as some of the big sluggers such as Mike Trout or Albert Pujols. This is yet another sign of inconsistency.

But there is also a lot of reasons to keep this guy. For starters, he's siblings with Kyle Seager, who is an all star and has one of the best MLB IQ. that gets me thinking this guy knows the game, and those kids usually are consistent. So if that's true, the inconsistency is no longer a problem. To add on to his knowledge of baseball, he was drafted out of high school. Now, playing in college is great for players who haven't learned the sport, but since Corey already knows the sport inside and out, is was smart to go straight into the MLB, because now ate age 21 he already has at least 3 years of professional experience, which is essential to making a superstar.Second, he's tall. height doesn't matter too much when it comes to baseball, but it can sure help out when it comes to running, jumping, and diving. If he could get a little faster, he could be a demon on the base paths.

I'd hate to be negative, but unfortunately, I can't see Corey Seager making the team. Does he have chances? Most certainly. In fact, I'd put the bar at nearly a 50/50 chance. But I just don't see the same promise that I see in other prospects. Plus, given he's on the Dodgers, he'll have some stiff competition. Sorry Corey, but I just don't see it happening.
