DrB's 2023 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #34 Nick Zwack

Nick Zwack LHP.  DOB:  8/1/1998.  6'3", 230 lbs.  Drafted 2021 Round 17(Mets).

2022(A Mets):   1-1, 4.97, 12.2 IP, 17.05 K/9, 1.42 BB/9.
2022(A+ Mets):  5-1, 1.84, 63.2 IP, 10.18 K/9, 2.26 BB/9.
2022(A+ Giants):  1-1, 3.99, 29.1 IP, 11.05 K/9, 4.91 BB/9.

In addition to J. D. Davis, the Mets inexplicably gave the Giants three better than decent pitching prospects to get Darin Ruf last year in a midseason trade.  Nick Zwack's scouting reports say he has a low-mid 90's sinking FB and a sweeping slider that is his best pitch.  The changeup lags a bit but he has enough of a mix to project as a multi-inning reliever or back-end SP.  Best part if he has two more seasons to develop before the dreaded Rule 5 eligibility hits.
