The 5-foot-11 infielder has an above-average arm and good speed. Listed at 165 pounds, Seymour makes contact with the ball but isn't very strong.

The right-handed-hitting Garrett has the potential to be a power hitter. He's listed at 195 pounds and used that strength to bat .398 with seven homers and 32 RBIs as a senior.
