Giants go all-in on pitchers on Day 2

Day 2 of the 2021 MLB Draft is in the books, which means we’re halfway through welcoming in a new crop of San Francisco Giants prospects.

The Giants have drafted 10 players, and they’ll draft 10 more on Tuesday before calling it a wrap.

Two years ago, in Farhan Zaidi’s first draft as president of baseball operations, the Giants waited until the eighth round to draft a pitcher. This year they flipped the equation on its head, waiting until the 10th round to draft a position player.

When we voted on the 2021 Community Prospect List before the season, the Giants had only two pitchers among their top 10 prospects.
