Seigler gained notoriety as a switch-throwing pitcher who can throw in the upper 80s and is equally effective with either arm. He also switch-hits and is proficient from both sides of the plate, but his ambidextrousness shouldn't overshadow the fact that he's one of the best all-around catchers in the Draft.

Seigler is solid and agile behind the plate, has a quick transfer that helps his arm play as plus at times and shows promise as a receiver and pitch framer.
