The Pittsburgh Pirates selected right-handed pitcher Matt Seelinger in the 28th round this year out of Farmingdale State College in New York. As a senior, he was quick to sign and was assigned to Morgantown, where he has been pitching great out of the bullpen.
Pitching great might actually be an understatement for the way the 22-year-old has performed so far in his pro debut. In nine appearances, he has thrown 12 scoreless innings on three hits and three walks, while striking out 17 batters. He is holding batters to an .077 BAA and he has an 0.
