Drafted in the 17th round (509th overall) by the Los Angeles Angels in 2014.
View Draft Report
Setiz's offensive production in the current college game means he could go in the top 10 rounds. He spent two years at Louisville, then sat out last season after transferring to Liberty. The switch-hitter has been a strong offensive performer this spring, winning Big South Conference player of the year honors while hitting .351/.429/.593 with 12 home runs. Seiz, 22, is not likely to hit for the same kind of average at the next level, with a swing that can get long but is loose and fundamentally sound. He struck out in 19 percent of his plate appearances this season. He has the chance for at least average power production. Currently a second baseman, Seiz is a solid fielder on balls in front of him but likely lacks the range and footwork to handle second at the pro level. His defensive ability likely fits better at third base with his average arm. The 6-foot-1, 225-pounder has a strong build and could move down the defensive spectrum to first base in the long term. He is a below-average runner.
