Seth Blair is going to be drafted as an innings-eating right-handed workhorse. I think he has a good arm and a sense of how to be a pitcher. He primarily pitched with his fastball in this look. By the time I filmed from the third base side, he was almost finished and not getting the same downhill plane he was earlier in the game. (more…)

I think Seth Blair should be a very solid pro – very solid foundation, durable body, fastball life and command. Some development needed for third and fourth pitch as a pro starter. See no reason why he shouldn’t get there.

Arizona State right-hander Seth Blair’s time with Mike Leake almost certainly rubbed off on him. In a recent Friday night look at UCLA, Blair proved how he is trying to become a starter who isn’t afraid to trust any pitch at any time in the count as a potential out-pitch, especially in a big situation.

The Baseball Beginnings pre-draft 2010 college list isn’t made up of Boras Babies and Baseball America Beauties. Instead, we go by the players we have seen in person on the Cape or out West here in California. This list is being published in September 2009, eight full months before the June 2010 MLB Draft. As we stated in our high school lists for pitchers, infielders, outfielders and catchers, our college lists are not meant to be taken as definitive this early in the process. Don’t live or die by anything this early, as some guys will sink and some will swim. If you want hype, well, I’m not your kind of scout. As we say here at Baseball Beginnings, the players will rank themselves.
