Gerelmi Maldonado RHP. DOB: 12/21/2003. 6' 2", 170 lbs. Signed as international free agent January 2021.
2023: 1-1, 4.71, 65 IP, 11.22 K/9, 5.54 BB/9, !.35 GB/FB.
Maldonado was a rising star in the organization with scouting reports talking about mid-upper 90's FB as he entered his age 19 season in A ball. He did pitched OK until about mid-June with a 3.60 ERA then kind of hit a wall and his ERA ballooned to 6.48 over the next 7 starts until he was shut down at the end of July. He underwent Tommy John surgery in December 2023 and missed all of 2024. The good news is he should be ready to go by spring training although the Giants may take it slow with his rehab. He's still just 21 years old but the Giants will have a Rule 5 Draft decision to make in November. Oh, and the name alone gets him a place in DrB's 2025 Giants Top 50 Prospects!
