DrB's 2020 Giants Top 50 Prospects: Honorable Mention(Part 3)
Ghordy Santos SS/2B. DOB: 9/2/1999. B-S, T-R. 6'1", 177 lbs.
Rookie(AZL): .314/.396/.430, 5 2B, 3B, HR, 10 SB, 12.2 BB%, 24.5 K%, 96 PA.
Things that catch my eye for Ghordy Santos: 1. Size for MI. 2. High walk rates and K/BB. 3. Speed to steal bases. Well proportioned athlete. Spent two seasons in the DSL where he took a full 2 months to get his bat going but caught fire in August both seasons. Got off to fast start in AZL. Season ended early on 7/23 with apparent injury.
*********************************************************************************
Richgelon Juliana OF. DOB: 5/30/2000. B-R, T-R. 6'0", 170 lbs.
Rookie(AZL): .217/.365/.272, 3 2B, 3B, 3 SB, 19.1 BB%, 30.4 K%, 115 PA.
13.9 BB% in 2018 in the DSL, so I guess you could say he walked off the island. Not a whole lot else going on here, but interesting walk rate.
*********************************************************************************
George Bell OF. DOB: 5/8/1998. B-R, T-R. 6'4", 215 lbs.
Rookie(AZL): .234/.333/.394, 4 2B, 3B, 3 HR, 2 SB, 10.2 BB%, 17.6 K%, 108 PA.
Short Season: .149/.200/.213, 3 2B, SB, 6.0 BB%, 26.0 K%, 50 PA.
Classic size and premium bloodlines are not going to help if he doesn't find some traction at the plate, and soon.
*********************************************************************************
Jesus Gomez LHP. DOB: 4/1/2001. 6'2", 180 lbs.
Rookie(AZL): 4-1, 3.83, 54 IP, 10.50 K/9, 3.67 BB/9. 51.1 GB%.
Nice numbers and age is on his side. Should move up to Augusta for age 19 season.
*********************************************************************************
Juan Sanchez LHP. DOB: 11/12/2000. 6'2", 165 lbs.
Rookie(AZL): 7-1, 3.77, 57.1 IP, 8.32 K/9, 4.24 BB/9, 41.7 GB%.
Had the best 2018 numbers of the Three DSL Lefties. Peripherals least impressive of the 3 in 2019 in AZL. I read one scouting report that had his FB velocity in mid-80's. If true, that won't play at higher levels. Found one video where he looks like your average soft-tossing lefty pitching to contact.

Not related to the Honorable Mentions, but wanted to ask:
ReplyDeleteWhat are your thoughts on the proposed changes to the playoff system for 2022? Personally, I hate everything about it. Almost half the teams would make the post season. This whole thing about the higher seed gets to choose who they face and they put that on network TV - total crap and not baseball. I am starting to think that the current comissioner needs to go. Baseball should not have clocks, managers should not be required to leave a pitcher in for three batters, and the baseball playoffs should not have a reality TV selection show!
