Walker Jenkins OF(HS). DOB: 2/29/2005. B-L, T-R. 6'3", 205 lbs.
Big athletic kid with 5 tools. May not be quite fast enough for CF but has more than enough bat and arm to play RF. Throws 93 MPH from the OF with 93 MPH exit velocity. Keeps elbow in on swings which allows him to get around and pull inside pitches but with enough natural power to drive the ball the opposite way. North Carolina commit. Reportedly a hard worker with plus makeup.

We've profiled enough draft prospects to start a draft board. Reminder the Giants pick #16 so these early dudes may not be available for them.
1. Dylan Crews OF(College). Best all-around player in the draft.
2. Chase Dollander RHP(College)- Best pitcher in the draft by a pretty big margin.
3. Wyatt Langford OF(College)- Top power bat in the draft.
4. Max Clark OF(HS)- Possibly top hit tool in he draft with 4 other plus tools.
5. Jacob Gonzalez(College)- Top SS in the draft by a solid margin.
6. Paul Skenes RHP/1B/DH(College)- Top 2-way player in draft but projects as a pitcher in the pros.
7. Walker Jenkins OF(HS)- More present power than Max Clark, Clark as the better hit tool, IMO.
Not related, but Ken Rosenthal reports that the Mets are concerned about Correa's physical. https://twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/status/1606693832699138048?s=46&t=u7nTQK_emxTrAyHdSw5CJA I don't subscribe to The Athletic anymore so I don't know what the article says. But the teaser is interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed. I will post a comment after we know the outcome but a very interesting turn of events.
