Scouting the 2016 Draft: Round 8 #245 Stephen Woods

Round 8 #245:  Stephen Woods, RHP, Albany.  DOB:  6/10/1995.  6'2", 200 lbs.

2016:  4-5, 5.57, 64.2 IP, 41 BB, 88 K's.
2015:  3-6, 3.98, 54.1 IP, 42 BB, 55 K's.
2014:  1-5, 10.98, 30.1 IP, 33 BB, 26 K's.
2015 CCL:  2-0, 3.37, 18.2 IP, 14 BB, 13 K's.

Well, happy birthday, Stephen Woods!  Woods is a hard thrower who hits 95-96 MPH according to scouting reports.  His big problem is too many walks, a problem the Giants have always thought they could fix in pitchers.  The Giants always seem to load up on power arms in this area of the draft without regard to command or track record.  They're doing it again this year.
