Scouting the 2018 Draft: Giants Rounds 21-30 Picks

Round 21, Pick #616.  Angel Guzman, C, HS(PR).  B-R, T-R.  6'0", 155 lbs.  There is some video of Guzman on Perfect Game.  He looks bigger than 155 lbs and surprisingly athletic.  Has some wrap at the beginning of his swing, but does a good job of keeping his elbows in during the swing.  Athletic enough to move to 3B or even possibly the OF.  We'll see.  The Giants history with Puerto Rican HS draftees is the kids look great on video but never put it together in real games.

Round 22, Pick #646.  Clay Helvey, RHP, College(Tampa).  6'3", 190 lbs.  2018:  5-2, 3.34, 70 IP, 30 BB, 56 K.  No scouting report.  Fairly generic looking college pitching line.

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

Round 23, Pick #676.  Ben Strahm, RHP, College(Northeastern St(OK)).  6'5", 210 lbs.  2018:  2-5, 4.16, 62.2 IP, 22 BB, 64 K's.   Have I ever said the Giants like to draft tall pitchers?

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

Round 24, Pick #706.  Preston White, OF, College(The Masters College(CA)).  B-R, T-R.  6'6", 200 lbs.  2018:  .326/.404/.484, 15 2B, 3 3B, 3 HR, 12 SB, 18 BB, 40 K, 190 AB.  4-8, 3.45, 44.1 IP, 29 BB, 42 K's, 6 Saves.  2-way player in college.  Program has produced Conner Menez and Brandon Van Horn, 2 prospects currently playing for San Jose Giants.  Looks like he has the speed and athleticism to play any OF position.  The challenge for guys this tall is always controlling the strike zone in the pros.

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

Round 25, Pick #736.  Fabian Pena, C, College(Manhattan College(NY)).  B-R, T-R.  5'10", 190 lbs.  2018:  .255/.365/.411, 12 2B, 6 HR, 23 BB, 33 K, 192 AB.  Small program college catcher with some plate discipline and decent power.

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

Round 26, Pick #766.  Jacob Lopez, LHP, JC(CA).  6'4", 220 lbs.  2018:  9-2, 1.62, 88.2 IP, 26 BB, 128 K's.  There is an extensive scouting report on Lopez in Baseball Census linked to the left.  Big lefty with a 4 pitch mix with excellent command.  4 seam FB goes 86-90.  Comment is he is strong enough to drive the ball down in the zone.  Bobby DeMuro who wrote up the report projects him as a left reliever at the MLB level.

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

Round 27, Pick #796.  Dylan Dusek, LHP, College(Texas Tech).  6'2", 215 lbs.  2018:  3-0, 2.03, 31 IP, 11 BB, 30 K's.  College Senior lefty reliever from a major program with nice numbers.

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

Round 28, Pick #826.  Travis Perry, RHP, JC(FL).  6'4", 190 lbs.  3-4, 4.02, 31.1 IP, 14 BB, 32 K.  Only scouting report is from 2013 when he was in HS on Perfect Game.  Tall RHP with a projectable frame.

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

Round 29, Pick #856.  Marcos Campos, SS, College(Siena).  B-R, T-R.  5'10", 160 lbs.  2018:  .322/.355/.402, 17 2B, 3B, 9 SB, 6 BB, 26 K, 239 AB.  Solid HS scouting report on Perfect Game.  Sounds like he's always been able to handle the bat.  Does he want to turn pro now or go back to college for his senior season?

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

Round 30, Pick #886.  Kwan Adkins, OF, College(Northwestern St(LA)).  B-L, T-L. 6'2", 195 lbs.  2018:  .321/.396/.404, 7 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR, 7 SB, 23 BB, 64 K, 240 AB.  College Senior.  Listed as 6'4" in his college bio.  2-sport athlete who played WR on the football team.  That's all I have but seems like an intriguing athlete.
