30. Alexander Suarez OF. DOB: 12/20/2001. B-R, T-R. 6'2", 160 lbs.
2021(R AZ): .311/.379/.503, 6 HR, 16 SB, 4.7 BB%, 33.6 K%, 214 PA.
OK, the K and BB numbers are ugly but this kid, who is reportedly Luis Matos' cousin, is a physical monster. Look up the videos for yourself. We'll have to see how the metrics play out but the ceiling is about as high as it gets.
29. Garrett Frechette 1B. DOB: 12/31/2000. B-L, T-L. 6'3", 200 lbs.
2021(R AZ): .331/.388/.438, 6.9 BB%, 27.7 K%, 188 PA.
2021(A): .219/.268/.289, 5.7 BB%, 31.7 K%, 123 PA.
Sweet swinging first baseman with current gap power with projection for more. Again, the peripherals are a bit scary but hopefully they improve with experience.
28. Adrian Sugasty C. DOB: 10/23/2002. B-R, T-R. 6'1", 170 lbs.
2021(R AZ): .358/.405, 439, 2 HR, SB, 7.4 BB%, 16.0 K%, 163 PA.
Exciting young catching prospect from Panama. Will we see him in San Jose for his age 19 season?
27. Tyler Fitzgerald SS. DOB: 9/15/1997. B-R, T-R. 6'3", 205 lbs.
2021(A+): .262/.342/.495, 19 HR, 12 SB, 8.8 BB%, 32.2 K%, 432 PA.
High K rate is worrisome but all the other boxes check going into what should be his AA season. I wonder if Giants are coaching their prospects to not worry about K rates and swing for the fences with 2 strikes?
26. Armani Smith OF. DOB: 7/19/1998. B-R, T-R. 6'4", 215 lbs.
2021(A): .339/.365/.627, 4 HR, 2 SB, 3.2 BB%, 17.5 K%, 63 PA.
2021(A+): .279/.351/.442, 8 HR, 4 SB, 8.7 BB%, 29.2 K%, 288 PA.
As I always say, if you are tearing the cover off the ball in every PA, there is no reason to try to take a walk. Interesting that Smith's walk rate improved significantly after promotion to A+ but K rate bumped too. Interesting corner power bat prospect.
Alexander Suarez is my favorite player on your list that I had never heard of until almost the end of the 2021 season. I'm with you on this guy. Really like Sugasty too!
