John Gavin, LHP. DOB: 10/10/1995. 6'6", 230 lbs. Drafted 2017 Round 8.
2017 College: 8-2, 2.67, 104.1 IP, 34 BB, 90 K.
2017 R: 2-1, 0.00, 16 IP, 7 BB, 22 K.
John Gavin is a big LHP who caught my eye during the college season pitching for Cal State Fullerton as he seemed to get stronger as the college season progressed. I was hoping the Giants would draft him. I don't know much about his stuff, but love the size. He went on to have a couple of dominant starts in the college playoffs. The Giants took it easy on him after the draft probably due to the extra college work. Found one scouting report that gives him a FB that ranges from 88-92 MPH. His second pitch is a changeup and he also has a slider. San Jose would be an aggressive but reasonable assignment.

How did he lose a game at R-ball with a 0.0 ERA? He'd likely gladly face the challenge of San Jose to get a better defense and more mature players behind him. 16 IP, 7 BB and 22 Ks shows he was basically just pitching against himself/playing catch with the catcher.
ReplyDeleteI'd hope with his size he can grow that FB a bit.
