Garrett Cave, RHP. DOB: 7/18/1996. 6'4", 200 lbs. Drafted 2017 Round 4.
2018 Low A: 6-10, 5.20, 116 IP, 9.16 K/9, 5.20 BB/9, 1.77 GB/FB.
Garrett Cave was drafted out of a NCAA division II school. He has an ideal pitchers frame and size with a FB that reaches 96 MPH. His 5 pitch mix, 4-Seam FB, 2-Seam FB, Curveball, Changeup and Cutter, makes him a SP candidate, but the persistently high BB rate makes other analysts peg him as a RP. He's got an upright "tall and fall" type delivery which helps give his pitches a downward plan producing strong groundball rates. The combination of high K and GB rate is a relatively rare, highly sought after combination. Personally, I would not be in a rush to move him to the bullpen. That can come late in the development process and is an easier transition than the other way around. I am not sure if the Giants will place him back in Augusta or move him up to San Jose. He'll be someone to go out to the ballpark for if he comes to SoCal with the little Giants.
