"Seabold's overall results in Spring Training weren't the prettiest; his 6.75 ERA, 4.85 FIP, and 12.1% walk rate all left plenty to be desired."
"His fastball was one of the biggest stories in camp, jumping multiple ticks to crack 96 miles per hour for the first time."
"That improved velocity allowed him to play more aggressively up in the zone, leading to a ridiculous 39.4% strikeout rate that the Tigers were surely smitten by."
Connor Seabold was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Toronto Blue Jays after struggling with overall results despite a velocity spike during Spring Training. He exercised his release clause and signed a one-year split deal with the Detroit Tigers, where he is expected to be part of the Opening Day roster. Seabold's fastball reached 96 mph, contributing to a high strikeout rate, although his Spring Training ERA and walk rate were concerning. The Blue Jays now face a decision for their final bullpen spot.
