CULIACÁN, SINALOA. – Aimed at continuing to strengthen the bullpen heading into the start of the 2026-2027 Liga Mexicana del Pacífico (LMP) campaign, the Tomateros de Culiacán Baseball Club announces the addition of American right-handed pitcher Seth Shuman.
The 28-year-old reliever, born in Valdosta, Georgia, began his collegiate baseball career at Georgia Southern University before turning professional when he was selected by the Oakland Athletics in the 2019 MLB Draft. Throughout his minor league career, he has belonged to the Oakland, Washington, and Seattle organizations.
Shuman is currently active with the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers. There, he boasts an undefeated 2-0 record, a 2.08 ERA, and a 1.15 WHIP, while averaging 7.6 strikeouts per nine innings and proving to be a pitcher with strong strike zone command.
Regarding his repertoire, the right-hander features a powerful fastball that reaches 97 mph, which he effectively mixes with a cutter, a sharp-breaking curveball, and a split-finger fastball.
With the arrival of Seth Shuman, the Guinda front office reaffirms its commitment to assembling a solid and competitive pitching staff to pursue another championship.
