Atlanta Braves Prospect Anfernee Seymour focused on hitting in new role at Rome

Acquired by the Atlanta Braves in a trade with the Marlins in August of last season, Anfernee Seymour entered during the home stretch of low-A Rome’s South Atlantic League Championship run.

A native of the Bahamas, Seymour attended high school in Delray Beach, Florida and played outfield at American Heritage. When the Marlins drafted him in 2014, however, he was transitioned to the infield.

Seymour never seemed to settle into the shortstop roll, committing 29 errors in only 61 games in short season single-A for the Marlins in 2015. He had another 42 errors in his first full season at the low-A level last year.
