"When the Giants Come to Town..." is my blog intended to chronicle my thoughts on San Francisco Giants baseball. My special interest is in prospects and the farm system, but of course, will comment on all aspects of the San Francisco Giants. I will also comment on baseball in general, particularly from a fantasy baseball perspective. I hope you will find the site informative, and invite you to join in the discussion.

DrB's 2020 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #12 Luis Toribio
Luis Toribio 3B. DOB: 9/28/2000. B-L, T-R. 6'1", 165 lbs.
2018 R(DSL): .270/.423/.479, 13 2B, 3B, 10 HR, 4 SB, 18.6 BB%, 22.6 K%, 274 PA.
2019 R(AZL): .297/.436/.459, 15 2B, 3 3B, 3 HR, 4 SB, 19.2 BB%, 23.1 K%, 234 PA.
2019 Short Season: .273/.385/.364, 2B, 15.4 BB%, 38.5 K%, 13 PA.
Luis Toribio is another player whose batting lines stood out immediately in the DSL with a combination of extremely high walk rate and power. After promotion to the AZL, the power was more of the gap variety, but the walk rate held up. A late season promotion to Salem-Keizer yielded an extremely small sample, but even there, you could already see the walks.
He's a lot bigger than 165 lbs. on video(Fangraphs has him up to 210 lbs- he looks more like about 190+ on available video). The swing looks a bit on the long side, but he makes a loud noise on contact. The movements at 3B look quick and fluid on video clips of infield practice. MLB Pipeline says he has soft hands and a strong arm. He should be ready for The Augusta Experience to start 2020 and we'll be following with interest.
