"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: #33 Blake Rivera
Blake Rivera RHP. DOB: 1/9/1998. 6'4", 225 lbs.
Low A: 4-6, 3.95, 73 IP, 10.73 K/9, 4.81 BB/9, GB/FB= 2.50.
Blake Rivera is a big-bodied RHP with a low-mid 90's FB and a curveball that can be a strikeout pitch, but he has challenges commanding. The groundball and K rates speak to impressive stuff. The stuff may play up even more as a reliever, but the Giants seem to be developing him as a SP for now. His size should give him the stamina to hold his stuff deep into games. His season was interrupted by injury after July 1 although he did appear in a few innings late in the season. We should see him in San Jose this spring where at age 22 he will be the same age as 4 yr college draftees in their first full season.
