Gerelmi Maldonado RHP. DOB: 12/21/2003. 6'2", 170 lbs. IFA 2020.
2021(DSL): 2-1, 5.22, 29.1 IP, 9.20 K/9, 5.22 BB/9, GB/FB= 0.89.
2022(ACL): 0-2, 2.27, 39.2 IP, 13.39 K/9, 4.31 BB/9, GB/FB- 1.30.
Exciting numbers from an 18 yo pitching prospect. Moving up from the DSL to ACL he dramatically increased an already good K rate, lowered his walk rate and increased his groundball rate. It doesn't get much better than that. Eric Longenhagen of Fangraphs visited the Scottsdale complex before the season started and wrote up his observations on 6/22/2022. He was impressed by the Giants coaching staff using advanced technology to make on-field adjustments, especially for pitchers. He mentioned that Maldonado was throwing 94-96 MPH. He appears to be ready to move up to full season ball in San Jose. Potential breakout prospect.
