The first two Giants draft picks in the Farhan Zaidi era each have distinctive, though different, statistical profiles.  First rounder Hunter Bishop has an extreme three true outcomes approach.  Logan Wyatt has extreme selectivity, but keeps his walk rates low with more muted power than Bishop.  The first comp that comes to mind when looking at Wyatt's stat lines is Joey Votto.  Wow!  Joey Votto is the guy who found the holy grail of pitch recognition!  With just a little more power, you can easily project a Vottoesque career for Logan Wyatt, and wouldn't we all be thrilled with that?  Before we get too giddy at that thought, here's a couple of slash lines to consider:

Player A:  .287/.363/.437.
Player B:  .269/.364/.445.

Player A is Joey Votto and the line is his ATT/Oracle Park split.  Player B is......Brandon Belt and the line is also his ATT/Oracle Park split.  So yeah, Logan Wyatt's ceiling is Joey Votto whose career would likely be very similar to Brandon Belt's had Votto played all these years walking in Brandon Belt's size 15 shoes, which either says something really good about Brandon Belt or something really bad about Joey Votto depending on which side you take in the "Belt Wars."  Wyatt will have to kick the power up a notch to get close to either one, though.

Wyatt's should start out the 2020 season assigned to San Jose and we'll follow his career with great interest.
