DrB's 2019 Giants Top 50 Prospects: Honorable Mention Part 8

Let's wrap up the HM's here before diving into the Dominican Dandies.

Fabian Pena, C.  DOB:  10/18/1996.  B-R, T-R.  5'11", 205 lbs.  Drafted 2018, Round 25.

2018 R(AZL):  .309/.376/.588, 10 2B, 3B, 5 HR, 10.0 BB%, 18.2 K%, 0.73 GB/FB, 110 PA.

College draftee from very small program.  Strong numbers across the board, but in Arizona.

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

Aynesber Sivira, 2B.  DOB:  1/9/2000.  B-R, T-R.  5'9", 155 lbs.  International FA, 2016.

2018 R(AZL):  .267/.367/.354, 11 2B, HR, 2 SB, 5.3 BB%, 16.5 K%, 1.18 GB/FB, 188 PA.

Small, but dynamic player.  Hit better in Arizona than the DSL but SB's dropped off from 20 to 2.

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

Beicker Mendoza, 1B.  DOB:  2/14/1998.  B-R, T-R.  6'2", 185 lbs.  International FA, 2014.

2018 R(AZL):  .301/.330/.462, 16 2B, 4 HR, 5 SB, 4.3 BB%, 29.3 K%, 0.84 GB/FB, 188 PA.

Mixed bag.  Strong hit tool with some power, but playing 1B in 4'th rookie ball season does not bode particularly well.  Extremely high K/BB is a red flag too.

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

Austin Edgette, OF/1B.  DOB:  7/6/1995.  B-L, T-L.  6'2", 185 lbs.  Drafted 2018, Round 33.

2018 R(AZL):  .286/.402/.329, 3 2B, 4 SB, 17.2 BB%, 17.2 K%, 87 PA.

Older senior draftee from small college program.  Intriguing K/BB in SSS....and Arizona.

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

Patrick Hilson, OF.  DOB:  8/5/2000.  B-R, T-R.  5'11", 175 lbs.  Drafted 2018, Round 6.

2018 R(AZL):  .186/.280/.335, 6 2B, 3 3B, 4 HR, 5 SB, 7.7 BB%, 36.8 K%, 0.68 GB/FB, 182 PA.

Patrick Hilson might be the most tooled up player in the organization but is extremely raw and a project.  Some things to really like here, though:  Flashes of both power and speed and already gets the ball in the air.  K rate obviously has to come down.

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

Bryan Hernandez, OF.  DOB:  12/24/1999.  B-R, T-R.  6'2", 178 lbs.  Drafted 2018, Round 18.

2018 R(AZL):  .138/.342/.190, 3 2B, 3 SB, 21.1 BB%, 38.2 K%, 76 PA.

Gotta love the walk rate, but probably needs to swing more and earlier to bring the K rate down.

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

Tyler Flores, OF.  DOB:  1/24/1996.  B-L, T-L.  6'2", 185 lbs.  Undrafted FA, 2018.

2018 R(AZL):  .296/.392/.390, 7 2B, 3B, HR, 3 SB, 13.8 BB%, 15.3 K%, 0.89 GB/FB, 189 PA.

Nice pro debut, but too old for AZL.

  1. Really enjoyed you write-ups of the top 50 and honorable mentions.

    On a slight twist, what is your reasoning for not giving Sam Coonrad even honorable mention, especially in light of the opposite trajectory within the organization for him and Chase Johnson?

    1. I might have just forgotten Sam Coonrod. I guess I was not too impressed with his numbers before he got hurt and he's been out a year. After someone pointed him out, I just didn't feel strongly enough to go to the effort to add him on.

      Let's see if he pitches himself back onto the list this season.
