Rest-of-Season Projections
Likely to begin season in Low-A
Seigler (kneecap) is expected to start the 2020 campaign with Low-A Charleston, Dan Kelly of SB Nation reports.
ANALYSIS
The Yankees drafted Seigler 23rd overall in the 2018 draft, and he was initially regarded as one of the team's top prospects. However, the backstop hit only .175 in 120 plate appearances in Low-A ball last season before a patella fracture ended his campaign after 30 games. Seigler's defensive tools make him an intriguing player to keep an eye on, and the coming season figures to be crucial in assessing his offensive potential.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
Seigler possesses many qualities that give him a chance to be an elite defensive catcher and above-average offensive option at the position, which is why the Yankees selected him with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2018 draft. It doesn't really matter for our purposes, as Seigler will be developed as a catcher, but as a high schooler in Georgia he gained fame for his ability to throw in the upper-80s with either arm. Unsurprisingly, he is also a switch hitter. His pro debut was abbreviated due to hamstring injuries and a concussion, but he dominated at the plate (158 wRC+) in a short stint in the Gulf Coast League, and while most of his small-sample Appalachian League numbers were not impressive, he had almost twice as many walks (eight) as strikeouts (five) in 12 games. Seigler uses the whole field and is adept at getting the ball in the air. He won't be a big power threat (maybe 15 HR at peak), but could hit for a very high average, relative to most catchers.
