Fresno State redshirt junior catcher Zach Morgan grew up watching Giants games. Now, he’s been drafted by San Francisco.
On July 18 San Francisco selected Morgan in the seventh round on day two of the 2022 Major League Baseball (MLB) First-Year Player Draft. He was taken with the 226th selection after being named No. 248 on MLB.com’s Top 250 Draft Prospects list.
Morgan is the 33rd student-athlete under Fresno State head coach Mike Batesole to be selected in the first 10 rounds since Batesole became head coach in 2003.
The 6-foot Diamond ‘Dog is the first catcher taken by the Giants in the 2022 MLB Draft, and the 15th from college ranks.
