Chris Wright LHP. DOB: 10/14/1998. 6'1", 205 lbs. Drafted 2019 Round 12.
2022(AA): 4-2, 3.86, 56.0 IP, 12.21 K/9, 5.63 BB/9, 6 Saves.
AA Richmond is usually the most pitcher-friendly stop on the Giants organizational ladder. Wright found it more difficult than A+ Eugene where he recorded a 0.97 ERA and 17 Saves in 2021. It looks like he mainly struggled with control/command as the walk rate went up to alarming levels. AAA Sacramento is generally a tougher spot for pitchers so he's going to have to up his game.
Video on the Youtube shows a mix of 95 MPH FB's and a diving slider out of a 3/4 delivery. Some violence in the delivery which may explain the high walk rate.
