DrB's 2016 Giants Top 50 Prospects: Honorable Mention Part II

Pat Young, RHP.  DOB:  3/24/1992.  6'5", 200 lbs.

Low A:  8-5, 3.39, 82.1 IP, 7.00 K/9, 3.72 BB/9, GO/AO= 2.03.

Young is a big dude with a funky, nasty delivery.  He struggled in San Jose in 2014 and managed to find a floor in Augusta in 2015.  He allowed 0 ER in 6 IP in each of his last two starts.  If he can cut down on the walks just a bit while maintaining the elite groundball ratio, he should play at higher levels.  Probably a future reliever.

Nolan Riggs, RHP.  DOB:  5/22/1993.  6'8", 235 lbs.

Short Season:  4-3, 3.23, 61.1 IP, 7.19 K/9, 3.23 BB/9, GO/AO= 1.08.

The Giants like tall pitchers and Riggs certainly fits that description.  Solid performance for S-K should propel him to a higher level in 2016.

*********************************************************************************

Ryan Halstead, RHP.  DOB:  5/13/1992.  6'5", 220 lbs.

Short Season:  1-2, 2.33, 27 IP, 10.67 K/9, 1.33 BB/9, GO/AO= 1.00, 8 Saves.

College Closer.  2015 draftee out of Indiana. Great numbers as closer for S-K.  I would think that gets him promoted to San Jose for 2016.

*********************************************************************************

Cory Taylor, RHP. DOB:  12/14/1993.  6'2", 250 lbs.

2-0, 2.45, 33 IP, 13.64 K/9, 3.27 BB/9, GO/AO= 1.87, 1 Save.

2015 draftee.  Big body reliever with terrific K and GB numbers.  Looking forward to seeing what he throws with San Jose in 2016.

*********************************************************************************

Dominic Mazza, LHP.  DOB:  7/28/1994.  6'1", 195 lbs.

Rookie AZL:  3-0, 1.27, 21.1 IP, 10.13 K/9, 1.69 BB/9, GO/AO= 1.11.
Short Season:  0-0, 0.00, 4.1 IP, 8.31 K/9, 0.00 BB/9, GO/AO= 1.25.

2015 draftee.  Forgotten starter for UCSB but put up nice college numbers.  I'm thinking the Giants take it slower with him and start him off in Augusta for his first full pro season.
