"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: Coby Mayo
Coby Mayo 3B, HS. B-R, T-R. 6'4", 205 lbs.
5-tool HS player out of Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS in Florida(yeah, that one). Hit, power and throw are all plus. run and catch are average. Projects as a 3B but 6.81 60 could put him in a corner OF spot. 94 IF velocity on throws means he could play RF. The bat could be special and enough to play at 1B if he reaches potential. Batting stance is a bit unorthodox. PG compared to Jeff Bagwell, but on video, both size, physique and stance reminds me more of Hunter Pence. Like Pence, he's long and lean with broad shoulders and room to add strength. Sets up with weight on back foot with R knee bent and front foot extended. While Pence brings the front foot back in a huge leg kick, Mayo just give is a quick toe-tap and fires hands from the wide base while shifting his weight forward. Good student committed to Florida so teams will have to gauge signability. Fangraphs has him ranked at #100. I did not find his name in MLB Pipeline's top 100.
