DrB's 2025 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #44 Jeremiah Jenkins

Jeremiah Jenkins 1B.  DOB:  5/5/2003.  B-L, T-L.  6' 4", 238 lbs.  Drafted 2024 Round 14(College- Maine)

2024(College):  .341/.451/.762, 22 HR, 15.6 BB%, 15.1 K%, 225 PA.
2024(Summer):  .326/.484/.630, 3 HR, 22.6 BB%, 17.8 K%, 62 PA.
2024(A):  .296/.367/.546, 2 HR, 8.2 BB%, 36.4 K%, 32.7 K%, 49 PA.

 Classic big lefty slugging 1B.  Excellent BB and K ratios in college.  K rate spiked in A ball but in very small sample.  Tons of pressure on the bat but I think he could be a major sleeper out of the 2024 draft.

Note:  I have bunched several of the 2024 draftees together here because we just don't have enough of a sample size to judge much.  I did rank them in the approximate order of my impression of their probability of sticking around at higher levels.

  1. Interesting line from college. He had 22 HRs and 15% K rate, which is probably only about 35 Ks. I don’t remember reading about him but power and control are intriguing
