Solomon Bates, RHP. DOB: 3/16/1997. 6'2", 210 lbs. Drafted 2018, Round 8.
2018 College(USC): 6-3, 3.14, 77 IP, 9.19 K/9, 2.44 BB/9.
2018 Short Season: 6-0, 4.88, 27.2 IP, 14.64 K/9, 4.55 BB/9.
Solomon Bates is a big, strong, athletic looking pitcher out of USC who put up an eye-popping K rate in his pro debut. Regarding his athleticism, it looks like he put up some pretty good offensive numbers in the California Collegiate Summer League in 2017. His scouting report does not sound all that optimistic with a FB that sits 89-92 and touches 95 with a slurvy breaking ball. Physically he reminds me of Jerome Williams. Like Williams, it looks like he will need to watch his weigh going forward. Despite a small sample size, his numbers from Salem-Keizer are enough to make me want the Giants to challenge him with a placement in San Jose for 2019.
