20. Will Wilson IF. DOB: 7/21/1998. B-R, T-R. 6'0", 184 lbs.
2021(A+): .251/.339/.497, 10 HR, 7 SB, 10.7 BB%, 25.0 K%, 224 PA.
2021(AA): .189/.281/.306, 5 HR, SB, 10.0 BB%, 36.7 K%, 221 PA.
I honestly have no idea what to think about Will Wilson and I have to admit I ranked him this high almost solely due to his draft pedigree. As I am sure you all know, he is a former first round draft pick who the Giants essentially paid $12 M to acquire from the Angels. The Giants have treated him like a top prospect with fairly long looks in spring training, assignment to the offsite in 2020, Arizona Fall League assignment. There's some intriguing power in there and the walk rate is nice but there's no way to sugar coat the faceplant after promotion to AA and it wasn't any better in the A. 2022 is likely a make-or-break year.
19. Nick Swiney LHP. DOB: 2/12/1999. 6'3", 185 lbs.
2021(R AZ): 0-0, 1.13, 8 IP, 18.00 K/9, 6.75 BB/9.
2021(A): 0-0, 0.74, 24.1 IP, 15.53 K/9, 4.44 BB/9.
It's a little frustrating that we still have such a small pro sample size from Swiney and at such a low level as he missed much of 2021 with a concussion. Fangraphs scouting report gives him high praise for his curveball and changeup which he relies on more than a pedestrian fastball that he throws less than 1/3 of the time. That profile often hits a wall at higher levels. He should be assigned no lower than A+ to start 2022 and hopefully we can see those kinds of numbers for a full season.
18. Matt Mikulski LHP. DOB: 5/8/1999. 6'4", 205 lbs.
2021(R AZ): 0-0, 1.80, 5 IP, 9 K/9, 5.40 BB/9.
Big lefty with a big fastball and a plus changeup. Per Fangraphs it sounds like his slider has potential to be another plus pitch and he still has work to better command his stuff.
17. Diego Rincones OF. DOB: 6/14/1999. B-R, T-R. 6'0", 175 lbs.
2021(A+): .300/.385/.533, 5 HR, 9.3 BB/9, 17.8 K/9, 107 PA.
2021(AA): .290/.373/.505, 10 HR, 7.5 BB/9, 17.4 K/9, 213 PA.
Very nice bounceback season for Rincones after a disappointing 20219 and a missed season in 2020. Downside for Giants fans here is the upcoming Rule 5 Draft which he is eligible for and the Giants did not protect him from. I could definitely see some team out there seeing those numbers from Richmond and thinking he could contribute at the MLB level now.
16. David Villar 3B. DOB: 1/27/1997. B-R, T-R. 6'1", 215 lbs.
2021(AA): .275/.374/.506, 20 HR, 5 SB, 10.3 BB%, 25.1 K%, 446 PA.
Villar is another guy who is Rule 5 Draft eligible and not on the 40-man roster. A terrific season for Richmond makes him a potential target. Not sure the timing of a post-lockout Rule 5 draft but their eligibility probably makes both Rincones and Villar candidates to be part of a trade package.
