Round 11, Pick #316. David Villar 3B, College(South Florida). B-R, T-R, 6'0", 205 lbs. 2018: .374/.463/.648, 24 2B, 12 HR, 28 BB, 58 K, 219 AB. Teammate of Shane McClanahan. Lots of BB's, lots of K's, impressive power, competitive program. On paper doesn't look that much different than Joey Bart.
*********************************************************************************
Round 12, Pick #346. Sean Roby, 3B, JC(Arizona). B-R, T-R. 6'2", 215 lbs. 2018: .356/.429/.739, 15 2B, 2 3B, 22 HR, 21 BB, 28 K, 254 PA. Nice stat line, but we've learned to not trust JC stats. The low K rate may be a good sign.
*********************************************************************************
Round 13, Pick #376. George Bell Jr, OF, JC(OK). B-R, T-R. 6'4", 210 lbs. 2018: .344/.456/.500, 3 HR, 13 BB, 12 K, 79 PA. Not much info except that he IS the son of THAT George Bell. Not sure why he only had 79 PA's. Injury? Intriguing name and size.
*********************************************************************************
Round 14, Pick #406. Bryce Tucker, LHP, College(Central Florida). 6'3", 205 lbs. 2018: 2-2, 2.03, 26.2 IP, 16 BB, 35 K, 6 Saves. Big lefty who worked as a college closer. FB 90-92 MPH, iffy command. Profiles as a lefty specialist in the pros.
*********************************************************************************
Round 15, Pick #436. Matt Frisbee, RHP, College(UNC Greensboro). 6'5", 215 lbs. 2018: 10-2, 3.45, 91.1 IP, 23 BB, 116 K's. FB goes 90-94. Could increase if a relief role. Uses height well with an over-the-top delivery. Should excel in lower levels of he minors. Challenge for guys like this is always what happens when they hit San Jose and the PCL.
*********************************************************************************
Round 16, Pick #466. Trenton Toplikar, RHP, College(UCR). 6'3", 210 lbs. 2018: 6-3, 4.07, 84 IP, 16 BB, 62 K's. Not a lot of info. Over-the-top delivery. Stat line does not stand out.
*********************************************************************************
Round 17, Pick #496. Ryan Olenek, OF/IF/RHP. College(Mississippi). 6'5", 185 lbs. 2018: .350/.388/.464, 18 2B, 3 HR, 10 BB, 17 K, 237 AB. This guy is really confusing to me. Tall, skinny kid who had a breakout season at the plate for Ole Miss playing all 3 OF positions, 3B and 2B, bur mostly CF. Listed as a pitcher by the Giants draft list but only made 1 appearance in 2018 which lasted 0.2 IP. Kylie McDaniel really, really likes him but "assumes" he is unsignable. Says he profiles best at 2B(at 6'5"?). Profile reminds me a bit of Brandon Bednar. Hit .283 in the Cape Cod League which explains the Giants interest. We'll see.
*********************************************************************************
Round 18, Pick #526. Bryan Hernandez, RHP, HS(PR). 6'2", 178 lbs. Pretty much no information available here.
*********************************************************************************
Round 19, Pick #556. Randy Norris, OF, College(Winston-Salem State U). B-R, T-R, 6'1", 190 lbs. 2018: .437/.475/.574, 5 2B, 5 3B, 4 HR, 34 SB, 11 BB, 21 K's, 217 PA. Speedy OF from a DII school. Scout who signed him comps him to Cameron Maybin.
*********************************************************************************
Round 20, Pick #586. Jett Manning, SS, College(Alabama). B-S, T-R. 6'1", 180 lbs. 2018: .251/..330/.302, 17 BB, 38 K, 179 AB. Let's just say I don't think he was drafted for his bat!

Thanks DocB, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, why the heck is a guy from a solid D1 school, with THAT kind of stat line, available in the 11th round?? Regardless, I dig. Let's see where he's at after his 1st full year in 2019.
I'm guessing his D at 3B is marginal to bad and he may have to move to 1B/DH defensively in which case his offense might not be enough to cut it.
