DrB's 2020 Giants Top 50 Prospects: Honorable Mention(Part 4)


Javeyon Williams OF.  DOB:  6/27/1997.  B-L, T-L.  5'9", 160 lbs.

Rookie(AZL):  .286/.369/.333, 7 2B, 18 SB, 8.8 BB%, 21.2 K%

Nice pro start for the speedster.  Gotta prove it at higher levels as a college draftee.   Again, Giants have an OF logjam in the lower minors.

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

Najee Gaskins OF.  DOB:  9/7/1997.  B-R, T-R.  6'0", 185 lbs.

Rookie(AZL):  .340/.474/.453, 8 2B, 2 3B, 19 SB, 14.9 BB%, 14.2 K%, 134 PA.

Another speedster with nice peripherals(except power) but at a low level for a college draftee.

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

Sam Selman LHP.  DOB:  11/14/1990.  6'3", 190 lbs.

AA:  0-0, 0.00, 7 IP, 16.71 K/9, 1.29 BB/9.
AAA:  3-2, 2.06, 48 IP, 8.71 K/9, 3.00 BB/9.
MLB:  0-0, 4.35, 10.1 IP, 8.71 K/9, 5.23 BB/9.

Finally made his MLB debut after years of toiling in the minors with mixed result.  Borderline stuff, but it plays approximately equally against RH and LH batters.

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

Enderson Franco RHP.  DOB:  12/29/1992.  6'2", 180lbs.

AAA:  6-5, 5.97, 113 IP, 7.81 K/9, 2.87 BB/9.
MLB:  0-0, 3.38, 5.1 IP, 6.75 K/9, 1.69 BB/9.

Labored as a SP in an extremely challenging environment for pitchers.  FB picked up a few ticks when he was moved to bullpen which earned him a callup. Held his own with impressive stuff at MLB level.

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

Joe McCarthy OF.  DOB:  2/23/1994.  B-L, T-L.  6'3", 220 lbs.

AAA(Rays):  .196/.335/.385, 6 2B, 2 3B, 6 HR, SB, 15.9 BB%, 29.7 K%, 182 PA.
AAA(Giants):  .165/.247/.241, 3 2B, HR, 9.0 BB%, 33.7 K%, 89 PA.

Giants seem to see something in McCarthy despite abysmal numbers in an extremely hitter-friendly environment.  Remains to be seen how long he'll last in The Churn.

  1. Sam Selman has a job-to-lose as a LH reliever. See if the new coaching crew can get his BB/9 under control (confidence?).
