Ian Seymour Steps Up as Rays Pitching Crisis Deepens | MLB News

The Tampa Bay Rays are in a pitching crisis, losing key starters like Ryan Pepiot, Joe Boyle, Steven Matz, Jesse Scholtens, Shane McClanahan, and Griffin Jax—but somehow, they’re still dominating thanks to Ian Seymour. In his latest gem against the Mariners, Seymour went six innings, allowed just one run (in the first), struck out seven, and shut them down for five scoreless frames. His changeup? A whiff machine—50% K rate. With 106 strikeouts in under 90 innings and opponents hitting just .159 off it, Seymour is quietly becoming the team’s savior. Now paired with Freddy Peralta, he’s stepping up behind All-Stars Rasmussen and Martinez as the Rays navigate their injury-riddled rotation.
