"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.

Scouting the 2020 Draft: Max Meyer
Max Meyer RHP, College(Minnesota). 6'0", 185 lbs.
2018: 2-3, 2.06, 43.2 IP, 54 K, 13 BB, 16 Saves.
2019: 5-3, 2.11, 76.2 IP, 87 K, 20 BB, 2 Saves.
Max Meyer is classic limited ceiling/high floor college pitcher. His ceiling is limited by his relatively small size and high effort delivery. His floor is high because he is probably already close to being ready to pitch in the major leagues, at least as a reliever. Meyer commands a 4 seam FB that goes 94-96 MPH, but his best pitch is a slider that one scouting report called a "wipeout" pitch. He also throws a changeup and has added a two-seam FB since moving into a SP role after closing out games for Minnesota his freshman season. This is a strong and deep class of college pitchers so it's hard to know where Meyer might be drafted. College pitchers tend to rise on draft boards late in the cycle.
