DrB's 2019 Giants Top 50 Prospects: Honorable Mention Part 4

Jonah Arenado, 3B/1B.  DOB:  2/3/1995.  B-R, T-R.  6'4", 240 lbs.  Drafted 2013, Round 16.

AA:  .200/.244/.303, 20 2B, 5 HR, 5.2 BB%, 19.7 K%, .236 BABIP, 29.8 IFFB%, 365 PA.

Jonah Arenado's lost some traction on his pro career with a very rough AA campaign.  Although he remains a potent XBH force, his usable power is limited by an persistent extremely high IFFB rate.  I am not sure what causes lots of pop ups but it is likely due to issues with swing mechanics and pitch selection. Hopefully he took a look as those things during this offseason, because he is running out of time.  Oh, and I've seen him play third base, and he's a first baseman.

Norwith Gudino, RHP.   DOB:  11/22/1995.  6'2", 200 lbs.  International FA, 2014.

2018 Short Season:  4-4, 5.36 ERA, 45.1 IP, 8.14 K/9, 1.19 BB/9, 3.71 FIP, 3.76 xFIP.
2018 Low A:  4-2, 3.45 ERA, 31.1 IP, 9.48 K/9, 2.01 BB/9, 2.96 FIP, 3.71 xFIP.

Norwith Gudino took awhile to get off the island, but he seemed to find a bit of traction in Augusta lat last season. Could we see him in San Jose in 2019?

Jeffry Parra, C.  DOB:  1/24/1998.  B-R, T-R.  6'0", 195 lbs.  Drafted 2016, Round 24.

2018 Low A:  .190/.293/.330, 10 2B, 7 HR, 10.0 BB%, 30.4 K%

Jeffry Parra was always a project and still is.  Augusta is a tough place for young hitters.  Parra showed some pop in his bat and a nice walk rate.  The K rate of 30% took it's toll on his BA.

Ismael Munguia, OF.  DOB:  10/19/1998.  B-L, T-L.  5'10", 158 lbs.  International FA, 2015.

Rookie:  .345/.397/.552, 6 2B, 3 3B, 6.3 BB%, 9.5 K%, 63 PA.
Low A:  .226/.261/.301, 2B, 3 3B, HR, 2 SB, 4.1 BB%, 15.0 K%, 147 PA.

Ismael Mungia is a small slap and boogie kid who doesn't have quite enough boogie.  He is a high energy scrapper so don't count him out quite yes.

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

Malique Ziegler, OF.  DOB:  9/8/1996.  B-R, T-R.  6'2", 170 lbs.  Drafted 2016, Round 22.

2018 Rookie:  .250/.417/.357, 3 2B, SB, 22.2 BB%, 22.2 K%, 36 PA.
2018 Low A:  .235/.327/.372, 9 2B, 2 3B, 4 HR, 7 SB, 9.3 BB%, 28 K%, 214 PA.

At his best, Malique Ziegler has some of the best tools in the organization, but his thin build seems to wear down dramatically as the season progresses.  He might be better in a platoon or utility situation.
