A collection of players that have worn the uniform of the Altamonte Springs Boom and the Altamonte Springs Scorpions, the predecessors of the Seminole County Scorpions, have made a major impact in professional baseball.

Seth Elledge

During the 2015 FSCL season, there was arguably no other pitcher more dominant than Seth Elledge. An FSCL All-Star, 2015 Prospect Showcase attendee and playoff pitcher, Elledge was nearly unhittable during his 20.2 innings of work. Giving up only 10 hits throughout the entire season, Elledge struck out 39 batters and walked only six batters over the course of the year.

In his time at Dallas Baptist University, Elledge was a solid member of the bullpen. Over his three seasons, Elledge maintained a 2.21 ERA and collected 27 saves as a closer. Opponents struggled at the plate against him, hitting .198 during Elledge’s career.

As a result of his success during his college years, Elledge was a fourth round pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, taken by the Seattle Mariners. The 22-year old signed a contract with Seattle less than a week later and reported to the Everett AquaSox after being assigned on June 23. After a great year with the AquaSox, Elledge has seen promotion come his way twice. Now, he calls the Modesto Nuts of the California League. So far this season, Elledge has 25 strikeouts in 14 appearances with a 1.47 ERA.

Jason Bahr

After two seasons with the FSCL, right-handed pitcher Jason Bahr has made a name for himself in the minor leagues. During his time in the Florida League, Bahr had two solid seasons and took home two championships with the Sanford River Rats -- 1-1, 2.25 ERA during the regular season in 2015 -- and the Altamonte Springs Boom (0.00 ERA, two saves in 2016 Playoffs). After completing the 2016 championship-winning season with the Boom, Bahr became a solid piece in the UCF Knights rotation.

The then-redshirt senior made five starts in 24 appearances, posting a 2.97 ERA in over 60 innings of work. He was a strikeout machine, handing out Ks to 98 batters that season -- fifth most in the American Athletic Conference. He also pitched in UCF’s final NCAA Regional contest against Florida State. Bahr accumulated nine strikeouts in only four innings of work. Unfortunately, his efforts on the hill weren’t enough as the Knights season came to a close with a 6-1 loss against the Seminoles.

But his efforts on the field weren’t ignored. The 23-year old was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the fifth round of the 2017 MLB Draft. The righty signed his contract just eight days later and reported to the Class-A Salem-Keizer Volcanoes on July 1st. With the Volcanoes, Bahr went 3-2 with a 3.55 ERA in 13 appearances (seven starts).

Now, Bahr finds himself with the Class-A Augusta Greenjackets out of the South Atlantic League. To this point, Bahr has cemented himself in the Greenjackets starting rotation. The righty has appeared in eight games, going 4-2 with a solid 1.73 ERA. In over 41.2 innings of work, Bahr has struck out 60 batters and walked only 12 batters as well. He is scheduled to make his next start over the weekend.

Rigsby Mosley

Mosley turned in an impressive season as a freshman at Troy University. Hr appeared in 51 games for the Trojans, starting 46 of them as a primary left fielder. Mosley garnered a slash line of .337/.402/.536, ranking 3rd, 5th, and 2nd on the team in each respective category. He scored 33 runs, tallied 21 extra-base hits (including five home runs), and drove in 45. For his efforts, Mosley was named the Sunbelt Conference Freshman of the Year.

Mosley, a local product who attended Bishop Moore High School in Orlando, appeared in 22 games for the Scorpions last summer. He went 23-82 (.280 avg) with five doubles and two home runs. He also scored 16 runs and had 10 RBI. He was named to the Florida League Prospect Team, but could not attend the event in North Carolina due to injury.

Connor Hoover

A member of the 2015 Altamonte Springs Boom, Hoover made his time worth it in Central Florida. In the Boom’s inaugural season, Hoover hit .246 in 57 at-bats during his 22 games of play. He also made his years at North Georgia worthwhile as well.

With the Nighthawks, Hoover hit over .300 during his three years in the program. During his final year in 2017, Hoover hit .361, adding five home runs and 18 RBIs to the total. He helped the Nighthawks to the NCAA  Division II Championships, but were ultimately knocked out by the tournament's number one seed.

MLB teams took notice to Hoover’s success with the Nighthawks. As a result, he was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the 21st round of the 2017 MLB Draft. After being drafted, Hoover signed his contract and reported to the Mariners’ team in the Arizona League.

In the 49 games he played for the AZL Mariners last summer, Hoover hit .267, driving in 19 RBIs and eclipsing the double-digit mark for extra base hits. He also showed patience at the plate, drawing 43 walks. He’ll report to the Mariners’ Arizona League team for the 2018 season, beginning June 18.

Tyler James

With the 2015 season with the Altamonte Springs Boom in his rearview, James turned his attention to the pros. He had a solid career at William Carey University. During his final season, he hit .276 and drove in 26 RBIs with two home runs.

He was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the 25th round of the 2017 MLB Draft. During his first season with the Royals’ Arizona League team, James hit .258, collected 13 extra base hits (five triples, two doubles) and anchored second base. The 21-year old had a .945 fielding percentage in the field. He will report to the Royals’ Arizona League team once again this season.
