Round 4: Tyler Fitzgerald IF. DOB: 9/15/1997. B-R, T-R. 6'3", 205 lbs.
2021 A+: .262/.342/.495, 28 2B, 2 3B, 19 HR, 12 SB, 8.8 BB%, 32.2 K%, 432 PA.
Nice combination of power/speed here. The jump in K rate from 20% to 32% is a bit alarming, but the Giants philosophy apparently is to not worry too much about K rate. 49 out of 100 hits went for extra bases. He keeps this going at AA in he's knocking on the door. Size projects for even more power.
Those 19 HRs are compelling. As you probably know, Fangraphs listed him at 34th on the Giant's prospect list last March. There could be something here.
ReplyDeleteHis Errors at 2B are reasonable but not at SS and 3B — suggesting it might be his throws. OTOH, he didn't have BB9 at the other end. It would be nice if there was an "errors saved" stat for 1B, or is it included in Defensive Runs Saved (DR)? It doesn't appear to be in https://library.fangraphs.com/defense/drs/
