Scouting the 2020 Draft: Nick Griffin


Nick Griffin LHP, HS.  6'4", 175 lbs.

Tall, lean lefty with long arms and legs.  Could have an additional inch or two of height in there.  Lots of room for physical projection.  FB has already hit 93 with a lot more gas in the tank.  Delivery is drop and drive and high 3/4.  Uses weight shift effectively to add velocity without extra effort.  Very high ceiling.  Committed to Arkansas in his home state.  If he's signable, and still on the board, would make a terrific second round pick for the Giants.

Time to update DrB's 2020 Draft Board.  We've had a couple of early pitching casualties as LHP Garrett Crochet of Tennessee is out indefinitely with some sort of arm issue while JT Ginn is battling a sore arm that carried over from last season.  Both players could come back later in the season and regain draft status but right now, I would leave them off my board entirely.

2.  Spencer Torkelson 1B, College(Arizona St).
3.  Cole Wilcox RHP, College(Georgia).
4.  Emerson Hancock RHP, College(Georgia).

  1. Half and half HS/College − which has better success rate for 1st rounders?

    FWIW: NBC Sports Bay Area has a good rundown on where SF Giants "Victims of The Churn" are this Spring:
