It took Seth Overbey just nine appearances to prove to Toronto's developmental staff that he's ready for another challenge.

Seth Overbey tossed 24 2/3 scoreless innings over 16 appearances with Low-A Lansing to begin the season. In late May he received his reward by being promoted to Single-A Dunedin. While pitching in the Florida State League he allowed just one run over ten innings, in his nine appearances.

That small sample was enough for Toronto to promote the side-arming right-hander to Double-A New Hampshire, and Overbey is expected to face his biggest test to date in the Eastern League.

Overall this year the 23-year-old is 1-1 with a 0.26 ERA in 34 2/3 innings.
