DrB's 2018 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #28 Raffi Vizcaino

Raffi Vizcaino, RHP.  DOB:  12/2/1995.  6'1", 195 lbs.  IFA 2012.

Low A:  5-7, 4.98, 77.2 IP, 8.58 K/9, 3.24 BB/9.

RViz has been kicking around the lower reaches of the Giants minor league system for awhile now.  After a promising start in the DSL, he missed most of the 2014 season, presumably due to injury, then came back and dominated the DSL in 2015.  He seems to have remained healthy since and put up decent numbers for Augusta last year.  He does not have the raw stuff of Melvin Adon.  His FB tops out at about 93-94 MPH He does have more developed secondary stuff.  He has very limited physical projectability so any further development will be polishing up his command and secondary pitches.
