Player Profile: Mike Seamon

Sometimes injuries and luck help a player get time (Meredith), in others that prevent the player from reaching his potential. For Seamon he fell into the second group. But this year he showed a bit of what he can be, which is just a bit Evans-esque.

In college Seamon played in every attacking role. For the Sounders he transitioned back and most notably earned play at right back while the Rave Green were down a man. He missed time in 2011 due to injury and in 2012 due to the depth of the squad. His option was declined on December 3rd.

Skills on offense: Good size and speed combo for interior play. Better mid-range passer than short or long, which is rather unique. Decent through balls from the CM slot in Reserve play. Good vision, if a bit conservative. Doesn't have the crossing ability to stick at right back in Seattle's system.

Skills on defense: Strong frame and willing to body up and tackle hard. Tried as a more defensive mid, his on-ball defense wasn't strong enough. Positional awareness is strong. Adds height and speed outside and helps in set-play defense.

Best Case 2013: Should be a regular starter in NASL or fringe regular in MLS. Best suited on the right of a diamond, 4231 or 4312.
