Rays’ Bob Seymour Hits Three Home Runs

When the Rays promoted first baseman Bob Seymour to Triple-A Durham, the hope was that his power would continue to play at the highest level of the minors. It most definitely has. Seymour homered three times on Sunday, giving him 16 home runs in just 46 games in Triple-A. The first baseman has collected home runs in bunches since he was bumped to the Bulls. This was his fourth multi-homer game with Durham. None of his trio of homers on Sunday were cheap–they were the three hardest hit balls of the game, with his hardest being a 111.1 mph blast that traveled 400 feet while another of his homers was a 110.9 mph shot that traveled 429 feet. Seymour now has 25 home runs for the season. He is hitting .283/.346/.520 overall and .270/.341/.610 since his promotion to Durham.
