Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 195 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 IFA
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster

Physical Description: Stocky build with solid height and weight to his frame. Long arms and long legs. Barrel chested with broad shoulders. Big presence on the mound.

Delivery & Mechanics: Low three-quarter slot delivery with a distinct leg kick from the right side. Extremely loose arm action that yields good extension. Stiff front leg in windup puts emphasis on his upper body throughout his delivery. Points of effort in delivery. Produces quality stuff, lacks consistent command.

Fastball: Electric mid-90s offering with great velocity and life. Fastball sits 93-95 and touches 100. Heavy sink action down in the zone. Good armside run and deception. Forces soft contact and empty swings. Plus pitch with its velocity and movement. Grade: 60

Slider: Mid-80s off-speed pitch with hard break and depth. Sits 83-86 with improved depth and great movement. Sharp break and tight rotation makes it stand out. Utilizes it as a putout pitch, forces empty swings. Improved depth and consistency earns a plus grade. Grade: 60

Changeup: Low-80s changeup that remains a work in progress. Shows signs of solid fade and tumble, lacks bite and consistency. Doesn't throw changeup much in any count. Lacks the feel for it as a third pitch. Needs more improvement. Grade: 45

Control and Command: Experiences several highs and lows in his command. Dots the black with his fastball-slider combination at times, then issues a four-pitch walk. Steady improvement in his control. Needs to improve the quality of his strikes, leaves a lot over the plate. Overpowers guys with his stuff, must refine his command to fulfill his potential Control: 40 | Command: 35

Overall: Santos has some of the most electric stuff in the system with his plus-graded fastball and slider, but his lack of innings and command issues hold him back to this point. He needs to find a better feel of the zone and improve his changeup as a consistent third pitch to live up to his starter billing.

Age: 18 yr

Weight: 180 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 IFA

Overall: Santana was signed by the Giants in 2018 out of Venezuela. He's a bigger framed catcher that has plus raw power, but some work to do to get to it. He's going to have to keep the body in check, and if he doesn't maintain his frame he may have to move to first, which has a significantly higher offensive bar. High risk, high reward prospect. Has enough power and strength to always remain interesting.

Acquired: 2019 IFA

Overall: Sugastey has loud tools but some issues with making contact consistently. It's easy to see why the Giants gave him $525,000 as part of their 2019 class. He's a physical catcher with a huge arm and raw power, posting some elite exit velocity numbers in some international tournaments. There are some mechanical issues with the swing that he will need to make to make more consistent contact, though, if he wants to get into the power.

Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2019 IFA
RuleV: 2023

Overall: Vinicio is an intriguing arm with an athletic, loose delivery and potentially three average or better offerings. The lanky lefthander has a whippy arm action and some tilt, so throwing strikes and repeating will be issues based on the video I have found. His changeup is a future plus pitch, and will get swing and misses. His fastball doesn't break 90 MPH presently, but with how lean and lanky his frame is he will add velocity as he matures. If he gets the heater into the low-90s it'll play because his changeup is so good. His curveball should be average or better as well.

RuleV: 2024

Overall: The switch-hitter from Venezuela signed for $800,000 in the summer of 2019. He's currently 6'2", 165, with tons of physical projection. He's a natural line drive hitter that may struggle to add loft, but he should add strength to the frame. The arm is good enough for short, but the actions point to him as a second baseman long term.

Overall: Javier Alexander Francisco was signed by the Giants as part of their exciting 2019 class. He checks a lot of boxes due to his above-average power and speed combination. He is very projectable, and will likely move to third base or the outfield in the future. There are some concerns with the hit tool, and his future defensive home, but he flashes some strong tools and can surge through the minors as the hit tool shows promise.

Overall: The best player in the Giants 2020 international class. The Venezuelan shortstop should stick at the position long term, and has displayed positive defensive skills with a developing offensive skillset. He's a switch hitter that is better from the left side with a developed batting eye. He's reportedly already grown three inches since signing, and should become much more physical in time.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Joe Drake

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 218 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Round 3
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Average but sturdy build. Fits listed numbers. Mature frame with little projection remaining. Athletic, higher waist, longer limbs. Typical starter build.

Delivery & Mechanics: Windup; tall and fall delivery; over the top arm slot with average arm speed and moderate effort. Average extension; standard deception.

Fastball: 92-94, t97; primarily uses a sinker with solid run and depth. High release helps create steeper downward plane. Works it down and to both sides of the plate, but some leak over the heart. Gets some swing and miss, but mostly groundballs and weak contact. Occasionally utilizes a four seam up in the zone which can get whiffs with decent ride and some run. Enough velo and movement to stay off most barrels, but will get squared up over the heart. Grade: 55

Curveball: 77-81; Vertical, 12-6 shape with solid depth and bite and will sometimes have some sweep to it. Flashes plus but generally inconsistent. Best and most-used secondary but plays down; stark contrast from sinker telegraphs the pitch and makes it easy for hitters to attack or lay off. Can throw it for strikes, but leaves it in the zone and up too often. Grade: 45

Changeup: 87-89; Fringey tumble and fade. Used sparingly. A little too firm at times, looks like a bad sinker. Does a solid job keeping it down, just lacks feel for it at present. A work in progress that has improved in pro ball but isn't a reliable weapon yet. Grade: 40

Control and Command: Average strike-thrower, typically around the zone but will walk guys. Generally efficient, but has trouble finishing off some hitters which leads to higher pitch counts and walks. Needs to work the edges to have success; balls left over the heart give up loud contact. Fringey, overall, but enough to get the job done in a starting role. Control: 45 | Command: 40

Overall: Out-getter with potential for a tick more if his arsenal is optimized. Standard innings-eater mold that induces more weak contact than whiffs. If the slider sticks and matches the quality of the curve, it should help the strikeout ability tick up since it would pair much better with the sinker's movement profile. Upside here is a backend #5-type starter and the low end is long relief. Good candidate for a bulk role where his stuff would tick up and he wouldn't need to turn over a lineup.

Overall: Arteaga received the largest bonus in the Giants 2019 class, signing for $1 million out of Venezuela. He gets praise for his athleticism and defensive skills, but his offense lags behind. He has the arm and infield actions to play shortstop in the big leagues eventually, but concerns with the bat might prevent him from being a big league regular.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Joe Drake

Age: 20 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 170 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2019 Round 3
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Thin but athletic build with long levers and high waist. Quintessential projection frame with wide shoulders and lean build.

Hit: Open stance with hands under the chin; torso is upright with a shoulder-width base. Long load with moderate leg kick followed by deep hand load. Feels disjointed and looks like it may sap some power. Above-average bat speed with fairly linear bat path. Limited game looks, but shows some feel to hit and feel for the zone; will swing and miss in the zone, but may be exaggerated by long load. Flat bat path will keep the barrel in the zone. Good patience and will work a walk. Sprays the ball to all fields; gap to gap, line drive hitter. May need to iron out kinks in load, but has the makings of an average hitter. Grade: 50

Power: Good frame and above-average bat speed should help him grow into average or potentially above-average raw power, but bat path and approach will keep him from getting to all of it in games. More gap to gap power than over the fence; good speed will help him tack on extra bases. Grade: 40

Field: Speed gives him requisite range for center. Reads and routes appear average in limited looks. Shouldn't have any trouble sticking in center. Grade: 50

Arm: Above-average arm strength with accurate throws in limited looks. Plenty of strength for center and enough for right should he ever need to move to a corner. Good speed helps him get into position to make throws. Grade: 55

Run: 6.57 60. Slightly slow starter, but very good top speed underway. Moves well; speed will be an asset to his game in the field and on the basepaths. Definite stolen base threat with potential for growth as he refines his reads. Grade: 60

Overall: McCray is an athletic outfielder with feel to hit despite a disjointed swing. Power looks limited at present, but has potential to make a big jump with added strength and a little more loft in the swing. His plus speed will be an asset to his game, padding his skills on both sides of the ball. While a little raw at present, McCray has enough tools to grow into an average regular and already outperformed expectations in rookie ball. He's likely a second-division regular and the tools give him a role player floor.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Tyler Henninger

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-11
Weight: 228 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Round 2
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Tall, lanky body. High waisted with long, skinny legs. Loose, long arms. Good flexibility and coordination for size. Plenty of room to add weight and strength.

Delivery & Mechanics: Semi-windup, tall and fall. High 3/4 arm slot with average arm speed and low effort in the delivery. Smooth, clean arm action. Solid deception due to high leg kick and frame. Above-average extension. Creates solid downhill plane with frame and high arm slot. Fluid, minimal effort motions allow for mechanics to be repeated fairly well.

Fastball: Sits 92-94 mph. Can run it up to 96 mph. Good arm side tail and sink with steep downhill plane. Commands it well, pounds the bottom of the zone. Ability to throw to both sides of plate. Induces a lot of GBs. Plane and command allow for pitch to play higher than velocity. Grade: 55

Curveball: Sits 80-82 mph. Sharp, 1-7 break when on top with tight spin. Confident in pitch, not afraid to throw early in count. Good feel and control. Has swing and miss ability, frequent chases when buried. Tips pitch occasionally by slightly slowing arm speed. Has potential to be an out pitch, some development to go. Grade: 50

Changeup: Sits 86-87 mph. Downward break with some sinking action. Shows feel for pitch, needs to improve consistency. Creates good arm speed deception, tunnels well with FB. Needs to improve command, leaves over the plate too often. Showed improvement in '19. Has potentially to be an average offering with continued development. Grade: 45

Control and Command: Good pitchability, showed improved sequencing in '19. Surprising ability to control long limbs allows him to throw strikes on a consistent basis. Around the zone with all three offerings. Above-average command with FB. Relies on command to succeed, pitches get hit hard over the middle of the plate. Control: 55 | Command: 50

Overall: Hjelle's above-average body control and ability to maneuver his long limbs is rare for someone of his height. While most pitchers of his stature struggle to find a consistent release point leading to issues with command and control, Hjelle does not. He has above-average control and a feel for all three offerings. His fastball has a good downhill plane because of his frame allowing him to pound the bottom of the zone. He can throw it to both sides of the plate making it an above-average offering even though it sits in the 92-94 mph range. His curveball shows good potential, as it has some sharp bite when he gets on top of it. It has swing and miss ability and should get better with some more development time. The changeup has shown improvement and looks like it could eventually wind up an average offering. It has good downward break and pairs nicely with his fastball. Hjelle's frame has some room to continue to add strength which should continue to help bolster the fastball velocity. With more development time, his curveball and changeup should continue to get better and more consistent. Overall, Hjelle looks like at least a spot starter or solid reliever with the potential to become a backend starter if the off-speed continues to improve.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Rhys White

Age: 20 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2018 IFA
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Average height with a well proportioned body, some room for physical projection left.

Hit: Stands mostly straight up, slight bend at his front knee. Bat and front foot are in sync pre-pitch. Upon the pitcher starting their delivery he lifts his front leg, as a timing mechanism and puts it straight down. When he swings he has noticeable loft to his swing, and is looking to put the ball in the air when he makes contact. He shows the ability to dip down and hit the low ball but can be attacked with fastballs up in the zone. He knows how to attack the pitches that are thrown, showing a good ability to turn on balls thrown inside to him and can go and slap balls the other way if pitchers decide to pitch outside to him. Grade: 55

Power: Above average bat-speed and a lofty bat-path paired with average raw strength are what Pomares brings to the plate. He shows above average power to his pull-side and still shows the ability to hit for slightly below-average power when he takes the ball the other way. I do think there is more power to come because his frame can handle to add more weight. Grade: 50

Field: As a center-fielder Pomares leaves much to be desired, he makes average reads but at times takes suboptimal routes to the ball. I do not view him as a center-fielder going forward. In a corner his suboptimal routes will be masked and the amount of ground he will have to cover is lessened allowing him to be a better fielder there. Grade: 45

Arm: Pomares has more than enough arm to play any three of the outfield spots.His throws are accurate and have enough carry. His arm is average so that means it is slightly lacking for right-field. Grade: 50

Run: As Pomares adds more muscle on his frame he is destined to slow down, but right now he is an average runner with a smooth stride, and is a bit of a threat on the basepaths as he takes good jumps. Grade: 50

Overall: Pomares combines a few average tools with an above average hit tool that will allow him to carve out some sort of role in the high minors and eventually the major leagues. There are some questions about where he ends up in the outfield ultimately, and I think he can manage to play center or right in a pinch but I think he's best utilized in left.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 215 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Round 2
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Average build with above average strength. Good athlete that played third and pitched in relief in college. Athleticism shows in his defense at the hot corner. Should maintain conditioning fairly easily. Good body, with loose actions on both side of the ball.

Hit: Sets square to the pitch, with slight bend at his knees, hands set by back shoulder, with a hand waggle pre-pitch. Pulls hands back, slight leg lift trigger mechanism. Steep angle that allows him to connect with anything middle in but leaves him susceptible to well placed pitches high and on the outer-half. Moderate swing and miss with a fair amount of expanding of the zone. Approach is only average. Fringe-average hitter with some holes and improvements needed in the way of pitch recognition. Grade: 45

Power: Fringe-average power that plays almost exclusively to his pull-side. Will jump a fastball on the inner-half and with his angular swing and above-average raw, shows the ability to get it play in games. Still limited in his ability to muscle anything. Mostly hunting fastballs. Grade: 45

Field: Above-average defender at third that makes up for a lack of speed with excellent footwork and body control. Comes in well and shows clean infield actions and soft hands. One of the better defenders in the 2020 college draft class. No questions about his long term future with a chance to develop into a plus defender. Grade: 55

Arm: Plus arm, was up to the mid-90s in the mound. Can make even the most difficult throws looks easy. Short arm action that gets zip and carry. Shows accuracy to first base even on rushed plays. Arm is an asset in the field that will steal some outs. Grade: 60

Run: Below average runner. Moves well in the field and has solid range due to footwork. Station to station in the bases, makes good base running decisions. Grade: 40

Overall: A strong all-around player who's defensive skills push him up against everyday regular. Needs to get to more power in games the way he did during the 2019 summer on the Cape. Approach and pitch tracking need work, but his contact skills are there with some areas of improvement within his swing mechanics and adjusting his bat path to get to more balls on the outer-half. The defense is there to be an everyday regular it's a matter of how much impact Schmitt can make with the bat.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 184 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Round 1 (LAA)
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Compact build, with good strength throughout and some natural twitch. Broad square shoulders, with a strong core. Likely to maintain conditioning but unlikely to be overly physical. Lacks projection physically.

Hit: Set square, lots of hand movement pre-pitch; bat wag pre-load, high leg lift timing mechanism. Short compact stroke with plus bat speed. Will get on base at an average rate, but there will be some swing and miss and chase mixed in. Below average approach overall, but he makes up for it with simple mechanics, a compact swing, and that loud bat speed. Shows the ability to make adjustments, but is ultimately hindered by his aggressive tendencies. Still an average hit with good contact skills and quality of contact. Grade: 50

Power: Power plays in game due to bat speed, and leverage. Hardest contact is almost exclusively to his pull-side. Looks to get out in front and drive pitches in the inner-half. Ambush fastball power that is compact enough to play versus velocity. Lacks the physicality to push the in-game power to above-average. Grade: 50

Field: Below average fielder that doesn't have a true home in the infield. Likely ends up at second where some of his footwork issues can be masked by positioning. Can play third or short in a pinch. Can rush through actions, hands are below average. Actions are inconsistent. Grade: 40

Arm: Average arm, enough to play on the led side of the infield. Certainly enough zip and carry for second base. Grade: 50

Run: Average runner, can add an extra gear when underway. Stretched balls in the gap to triples at times in college. Heads up base runner that will not be a determinant on the base paths. Grade: 50

Overall: Bat first infielder that may land as an offensive-driven utility type. The bat will play and it's the reason Wilson went in the first round back in 2019. Was a strong college performer, but struggled at times out the gate as a professional. The bat speed and his ability to make contact are not in doubt. How much impact he provides overall are, and do to a lack of supporting skills he must hit to earn a long term major league role.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 20 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: above-average height. Solidly built is mostly physically maxed out. Has some additional room for upper-body strength. High waisted.

Hit: Stands slightly crouched. Starts with the bat on his shoulder but gets his hands high and back as he loads. Uses a moderate leg kick as his timing mechanism. Keeps his weight on his back foot and transfers that weight with a rotational swing that generates some natural loft off the bat. Wide base at impact helps him drive the ball when he barrels it. It's a linear swing that is capable of getting the ball in the air. Pairs above-average bat speed with innate bat-to-ball skills; fights off pitches and puts the ball in play often. Patient approach and sometimes too much so. Shows a feel for the zone and knows when to lay off pitches. Does not chase often, but has a tendency to overswing. Struggled against lefties in 2019 in a small sample; does appear to be more comfortable facing righties. Has above-average bat-to-ball skills and his hit tool as a whole could be above-average in time with further refinement. He has a present contact-oriented approach. Grade: 50

Power: Above-average or better raw power, particularly to the pull side. Gets the ball in the air, but it's mostly to the gaps during games. Began using the whole field with more regularity in 2019. Already uses his lower body well and he has a rotational swing; both indicate future power growth but it may come at the expense of his hit tool. Would do well to find pitches to drive. Grade: 50

Field: Moves well enough in the field to give hope he can stick at 3B, but he only has fringe-average lateral quickness. Keeps the ball in front of him and charges with authority, but his glove work is still unrefined. Struggles with errors at times. Below-average range at 3B that plays up because of his awareness. Added weight would decrease his range even further. Can make some difficult plays because of his arm talent, but the overall package is still fringey. Could face a move across the diamond at some point in his development. Grade: 45

Arm: Strong arm with good carry across the infield. Throws from a low 3/4 slot. Quick arm. Shows comfort in throwing to 2B and 1B. Makes some difficult throws to 1B while charging the ball. Will drop his arm to a low sidearm to get the ball out quickly. Quick transfers. Arm fits at 3B. Grade: 60

Run: Timed 4.29 down the line from the left side. Not a threat to steal, but does show good awareness on the base paths. Grade: 40

Overall: Toribio offers an intriguing skillset because of his bat-to-ball skills, but he's yet to produce the power coveted at a corner infield spot. He does flash above-average or better raw power, so there is some hope he'll grow into it as he progresses in his development. He has the makings of a future second-division regular at 3B, but he'll need to work hard to stick there and avoid a platoon or bench role.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2020 Round 2 FAC
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Average physical build, thin, but strong. Room to add 15 pounds of muscle in the coming years. Good athlete moves fast on the mound.

Delivery & Mechanics: Semi-windup; 3/4 slot, long arm action, fast arm; drop and drive delivery. Gets downhill quickly. Repeats well, high effort, moderate leg kick, shorter stride, lands in good position to field, despite head whack.

Fastball: Below average fastball, sits 88-90 mph, touching 93 mph. Lacks sink or ride in the zone. Flat, controls well but commands poorly. Easily hittable, mostly thrown as a setup for his changeup. Lands far too many over the heart of the plate for his velocity and movement profile. Grade: 40

Curveball: Slow 1-7 curveball, sits 74-77 mph with late tailing action. Looks to back door the pitch to left handers. Good swing and miss pitch he has feel for, will throw it to both left handed and right handed batters. Third pitch but used with frequency. Primary secondary versus lefties. Grade: 50

Changeup: Plus pitch and his best swing and miss offering. Sits 75-77 mph, with late devastating run. Will use left on left with frequency, but dominates right handed hitters. Sells it with arm speed and feel. Commands the pitch with precision, clustering the bottom arm-side quadrant. Misses bats at a high rate. Grade: 60

Control and Command: In the shortened 2020 collegiate season he found his command and control. He still lacks great feel for his fastball, but his elite changeup feel and good breaking command allow him to earn an fringe-average command grade despite early struggles with strike throwing as an underclassman. Executes plan of attack landing his changeup armside and his curveball gloveside. Should improve his fastball command with time. Control: 50 | Command: 45

Overall: A developing starter profile who looked to be in the midst of a breakout in 2020 prior to the shutdown. Needs to add velocity and improve his fastball shape and command, but he has two very viable secondaries and a good plan of attack. His ability to dominate righthanders and use two secondaries in same side matchups give him a chance to stick in the rotation. Fastball velo gains would go a long way toward providing Swiney with a bullpen role fallback plan. The lack of velocity and premium shape are factors holding back a potential Swiney from mid-rotation potential.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: James Chipman

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 195 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2017 Round 3
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Good pitcher's body. Every bit of 6' 2" 195 pound list. Athletic, sturdy build. Average torso; high waist with broad shoulders and long levers. Average core; sturdy lower half. Minimal physical projection remaining.

Delivery & Mechanics: Semi-windup; tall and fall deployment. High 3/4 arm slot with above-average arm speed and moderate effort in the delivery. Short stride with above-average extension. Above-average deception from belt high leg kick and late exposure. High slot generates natural downward plane. Good rhythm. Simple mechanics that are repeated fairly well.

Fastball: Sits 91-94 t96; mostly fringy low-90s velocity. Heavy sink when he pounds it in the lower third. Modest arm-side run elsewhere in the zone. Navigates the pitch well around the zone; manipulates velo and movement. Offering elicits both swing and miss and weak contact. Advanced pitchability, great extension and deception pad the overall quality of the offering. Grade: 55

Curveball: Hammer curveball; sits 79-83 with tight rotation, huge sweepy depth and sharp bite. Backdoors the offering early in counts to steal strikes and works it away as a swing and miss chaser. Challenges RHB, absolute murder on LHB as a put-away offering. Has gained consistency over his pro career; should develop into an above-average weapon. Grade: 55

Changeup: Offering has vastly improved with pro instruction. Sits 83-85 with optimal velo separation; has feel, thrown with conviction while maintaining arm-speed. Features impressive late tumble and modest arm-side fade at its best. Solid against same sided batters; tough against RHB. Elicits both swing and miss and weak contact. Grade: 50

Control and Command: Shows flashes of advanced pitchability; sequencing well, pitching backwards and attacking all four quads. Manipulates velo and movement extremely well. Can get too creative and passive at times hunting for strikeouts; resulting in long at-bats and strings of free passes. Has made great strides annually with pro instruction but overall it's likely a limited command profile probably better suited for a reliever role. Control: 40 | Command: 40

Overall: Corry's profile features an above-average arsenal with raw pitchabilty and the ability to miss bats and generate weak contact. A potential mid-rotation stalwart, the inconsistent command has me bearish, thinking a bullpen role is the more likely outcome. Regardless, Corry is a prospect worth closely monitoring this season as his handedness and impressive arsenal are likely to have big league impact regardless of the role he's given.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 19 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 200 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2020 Round 3
RuleV: 2024

Physical Description: Average height, thin, long arms and legs, high waisted, good athlete. Plenty of projection remaining and he should be able to add strength without becoming bulky.

Delivery & Mechanics: Semi-windup; long hook arm action, low 3/4 arm slot, fast arm, with extremely low release height. High leg lift; drop and drive delivery, repeats well.

Fastball: Sat 91-94 mph pre-draft was up to 97 mph during instructional league. Good movement and command to all four quadrants. Uncomfortable look for hitters due to his low release and low slot from the left side. It's the type of fastball that disappears on hitters, with some natural cutting action that allows it to tunnel with his slurvy breaking ball. Generates lots of swings and misses in the upper-quadrants. Above-average pitch that very likely ends up plus at peak. Grade: 55

Slider: Sweepy slider in the 77-79 mph range pre-draft. Another pitch that plays up due to his low lefty slot. Likes to land it armside sneaking back foot and back door when he gets around it. Wasn't used heavily as an amateur but was his go to secondary. Average pitch with above-average ceiling. Grade: 50

Changeup: Below average pitch, low-80s offering with inconsistent shape. Little to no feel at this point. Definitely an area for development in the future. Grade: 40

Control and Command: Strike thrower that's heavily fastball dominant in terms of sequencing. He commands his fastball well to all parts of the zone. Will overthrow it at times but his release point is fairly consistent leading to lots of strike throwing. Slider command is average will shows flashes of feel on both side of the plate. Lacks feel or command of a changeup with limited the overall grade. Control: 50 | Command: 45

Overall: Exciting arm with the possibility of developing two plus pitches. At present he has an above-average fastball and a slider that's consistently average with flashes of plus. There's no third pitch at present but there's still time to develop changeup feel or add another variation. A talented lefty that's already added velocity and muscle as a professional.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-5
Weight: 210 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2019 Round 1
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Tall, strong, with good physicality. Extremely athletic build with smooth easy mechanisms that shine through in his swing. Room to add maybe 10-15 pounds of muscle and the ability to do it without losing athleticism.

Hit: Sets slightly open; hands set high by ear flap; crouch used as timing mechanism. Slight toe tap, lighting fast hands and bat speed. Shows the ability to stay on time and keep hands inside. Destroys fastballs, which is where he does most of his damage. Struggles against spin and offspeed. Fairly angular bat path that leads to a major hole down and away. Any pitch on the bottom outside quadrant is an automatic strike. Shows the ability to hit the high fastball and anything on the inner-half. Will expand but almost exclusively versus sliders and changeups. Will always swing and miss but balances it with on-base ability and quality of contact. Hole in his swing will ultimately keep him from an average hit tool. Grade: 45

Power: Double-plus raw that plays plus in games. Elite bat speed, raw strength and leverage allow Bishop to hit for power consistently putting on shows in batting practice and connecting for light tower shots in game. Adjustments to his setup and ultimately his swing path that simplified his movement and unlocked plus in game power. Grade: 60

Field: Average fielder that takes inconsistent and often inefficient routes to the ball. Plus speed allows him to cover ground and make up for poor reads off the bat. Despite his lack of awareness his speed covers for his warts. Grade: 50

Arm: Below average arm that lacks carry or strength. Likely ends up in left field due to his lack of arm strength. Grade: 40

Run: Plus runner that will steal bases and put pressure on defenses with his base running. Speed allows him to handle any position in the outfield, even if his routes and arm limit that in reality. Grade: 60

Overall: A tooled up but imperfect prospect, with some of the loudest tools and highest upside of any of the Giants position players. Unlikely to be a star due to his struggles versus spin and lack of defensive value. He will however fill the highlight reels with his power and speed. Hitting long home runs and stealing bases. There's a possibility his fielding and contact skills improve to the point that he pushes star level, but he's comfortably an everyday regular due to his impact offensively. A talented player destined for high highs and low lows.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 210 lbs
Hits/Throws: S/R
Acquired: 2020 Round 1
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: strong, boxy frame, broad shoulders with a strong lower half. Moderate athleticism and high level upper body strength.

Hit: Switch-hitter with different setups from each side of the plate. Starts open when hitting left handed, deep bend, almost toilet seat, busy hands, with a long, slow, and high leg lift trigger mechanism. As a right handed hitter, sets square to the pitcher, with very busy hands pre-load, it's a strong, quick swing, with less moving parts but less natural fluidity than his lefty stroke. The two swings share a common characteristic of being heavily hands driven. Doesn't tap much into his lower half, particularly right handed. Strong approach works deep into counts with limited swing and miss. Elite on-base skills, and strong quality of contact. No split issues, but stronger performance versus left handers. Above-average hit tool. Grade: 55

Power: Above-average bat speed, strong leverage swing and a bat path driven toward elevating. Consistently gets to power in games, driving the ball heavily to his pull-side from each side of the plate. Above average exit velocity and the metrics back the performance. Strong barrel control, limits bad contact, and despite loft and a heavy flyball approach he limits pop-ups. Stronger to his pullside from the left side of the plate but his power plays from both sides. Grade: 50

Field: Average fielder, good catch and throw type with strong receiving skills, but at times below average blocking. Working more from one knee during instructs. Likely to stick behind the plate, but more as steady defender than an above-average one. Grade: 50

Arm: Above average arm, with consistent sub-two second pop times. Accurate on throws to second. Has the arm to stick behind the plate. Grade: 55

Run: Below average runner, that will hustle out of the box. Not a base clogger, but speed may diminish over time. Not a part of his game. Grade: 40

Overall: Strong all-around catching prospect, with the bat to be one of the better offensive performers at the position. Strong combination of approach, contact, and power. Good build with enough athleticism for him to maintain civility behind the plate. Good catch and throw skills, and average framer. Should move fairly quickly, splitting time with Joey Bart.
