If you had asked people this time last year to predict which San Francisco Giants prospects who were not on last year’s Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List would appear on this year’s, I don’t think you would hear a single person say the name Chris Wright. But here we are, with Wright being voted as the No. 29 prospect in the Giants organization.
You can probably guess by the above paragraph that Wright, a left-handed reliever, had a brilliant breakout 2021. The 23-year old (he was 22 during the season) started the year with Low-A San Jose, where he only stayed for 8 innings, allowing 4 hits, 3 walks, and 1 earned run, while striking out 17.
