Scouting the 2022 Draft: Rounds 11-20

 Round 11, #346.  Sam Bower RHP, St Marys(college).  DOB:  5/2/2001.  6'3", 220 lbs.  0-0, 3.48, 10.1 IP, 3 BB, 11 K.  Solid sophomore numbers at St Marys.  2022 season ended prematurely with a shoulder injury.  I was not able to find more details on nature of injury.  As we have noted numerous times, FZ is not afraid of pitcher injuries.

Round 12, #376.  Tyler Vogel RHP, Jacksonville(college).  DOB:  11/16/2000.  6'0", 175 lbs.  4-0, 1.78, 35.1 IP, 24 BB, 39 K, 10 Saves.  College Closer who went 3+ innings on multiple occasions.  That's all I have.

Round 13, #406.  Thomas Gavello C, Pacific(college).  DOB:  6/6/2001.  B-L, T-R.  5'10", 180 lbs.  .247/..393/.495, 11 HR, 4 SB, 33 BB, 58 K, 186 AB.  Listed as a C on MLB Draft Tracker so that must be what the Giants stated the pick as.  From UOP bio and fielding stats he is listed as an IF and it appears he mostly played 3B.  Kind of a true outcomes guy with double digit HR's to go with lots of walks and lots of K's.  

Round 14, #436.  Nomar Diaz C, Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy(HS, Puerto Rico).  DOB:  4/15/2004.  B-R, T-R.  6'1", 180 lbs.  Per PG:  Defensive Catcher, athletic enough to play any position.  Simple swing with some pop in his bat with room for more power.  Developmental prospect.  Only HS player Giants take except for a couple of late flyers who probably won't sign.

Round 15, #466.  Tanner O'Tremba OF, Arizona(college).  DOB:  12/6/1999.  B-R, T-R.  6' 0", 212 lbs.  .351/.446/.591, 11 HR, 9 SB, 31 BB, 67 K, 259 AB.  Another guy who I'm trying desperately to figure out why he lasted this long.  PG's top prep prospect from Colorado in 2018.  Maintained performance in NCAA postseason.  Academic All-American.  No projection in body which is probably why he went this low.  80 grade baseball name.

Round 16, #496.  Andrew Kachel 2B, Fresno St(college).  DOB:  12/24/2000.  B-L, T-R.  6'0", 170 lbs.  .302/..395/.559, 11 HR, 6 SB, 29 BB, 45 K, 202 AB.  Second Bulldog drafted by the Giants.  Grew up rooting for the Giants so that's cool.  Smallish IF/overachiever type.  Decent college stats.  College Senior so likely way underslot bonus.  

Round 17, #526.  Justin Bench SS, Mississippi(college).  DOB:  8/28/1999.  B-R, T-R.  6'0", 185 lbs.  .316/.409/.438, 4 HR, 4 SB, 25 BB, 43 K, 256 AB.  Justin Bench is the son of John Bench and Johnny Bench bas a son named Justin but this Justin Bench is not related to the HOF catcher.  He is a pretty good baseball player who put up solid numbers for major college program in the toughest college conference. Another senior underslot guy.

Round 18, #556.  Tanner Thach 1B, HS.  DOB:  3/11/2004.  B- L, T-L.  6'3", 215 lbs.  Not much info.  PG lists him as a two-way player with an 88 MPH FB and ranks him #500 in country.  Committed to UNC Wilmington.  HS players drafted this late rarely sign but I'm thinking he just might be signable.

Round 19, #586.  Cade Perkins LHP, HS.  DOB:  4/15/2004.  6'2", 195 lbs.  From Manhattan......Kansas!  PG lists him as a two-way with 1B being his non-pitching position. #435 national ranking.  Committment is to JC ball so he may be signable too.  PG lists FB  velocity as 84 MPH.

Round 20, #616.  Ethan Long 1B, Arizona St(college).  DOB:  5/10/2001.  B-R, T-R.  6'2", 215 lbs.  .294/.377/.524, 7 HR, 5 SB, 18 BB, 38 K, 143 AB.  Ethan Long his his name and power is his game.  Draft eligible soph.  Long hit 16 HR's his freshman year which is more than Barry Bonds hit as a freshman at ASU and ranks second to Spencer Torkelson.  Stats regressed as a sophomore.  I am skeptical that he's signable. Seems like going back and trying to light it up as a junior and move way up draft boards is the smart move for him.

So, there you have it.  Tanner O'Tremba is my guy from Day 3 of the draft.
