DrB's 2020 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #38 Caleb Kilian


Caleb Kilian RHP.  DOB:  6/2/1997.  6'4", 180 lbs.

College:  8-3, 3.92, 96.1 IP, 20 BB, 89 K.
Rookie(AZL):  0-0, 0.00, 12 IP, 2 BB, 11 K.
Short Season:  0-0, 0.00, 4 IP, 0 BB, 6 K.

Caleb Kilian was the first pitcher selected by the Giants in the 2019 draft in the 8'th round out of Texas Tech.  Long but solid frame with a ton of projection despite his relatively advanced age for new draftee.  FB reportedly gets up to 95 with a solid slider to back it up.  The Giants took it very slow with him after the draft. He might take the same route through Augusta as Sean Hjelle and Jake Wong in his first full pro season.  One of my favorite Giants picks from the 2019 draft. May be a late bloomer.  Giants development guys have to be thinking they can get at least another 2-3 MPH out of that frame.
