A dominant start for Carson Seymour has earned hardware from Minor League Baseball, as the Sacramento River Cats right-hander was named the Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week for April 1-6.

Though he had just one outing, which came in game three of the series last Thursday, Seymour dazzled by punching out five hitters and walking only one with two hits allowed over his five blemish-free frames. He faced a total of 19 batters, just four over the minimum, and three of his five punchouts came with his slider while the other two came on the sinker.

For Seymour, this is his first Triple-A weekly honor in his career, though he once received a weekly honor while in Double-A with the Richmond Flying Squirrels (SFG) when he was tabbed the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week on Aug. 6, 2023.

This marks the second time the River Cats have seen a player earn weekly honors from MiLB, joining Brett Auerbach who was named the PCL Player of the Week after the year’s first series from March 28-30.

Additionally, it means the Sacramento River Cats are now exactly halfway to the four weekly honors earned last season when Mason Black (4/15/24) and Tommy Romero (6/10/24) were PCL Pitchers of the Week while Tyler Fitzgerald (5/27/24) and Luis Matos (6/17/24) were PCL Players of the Week.

More on the Sacramento River Cats

Following an opening weekend in which he homered in both of the first two contests of the season, Sacramento River Cats infielder Brett Auerbach has been named the Pacific Coast League Player of the Week for March 28-30.

For the series, Auerbach logged a hit in every game and was a combined 5-for-11 (.455), with four of his five hits going for extra bases. In addition to driving in a run in each of the three games (four RBI total), Auerbach generated a triple slash line of .500/1.182/1.682 while striking out only once.

In game one Auerbach represented the first Sacramento River Cats run of the season with a solo blast leading off the bottom of the third inning, one that proved to be the game-winning run. He left the yard again for a pair of insurance tallies in his final at-bat on Saturday, and on Sunday the Alabama product produced a pair of doubles.
