The San Francisco Giants made it three straight pitchers to open up the 2021 MLB Draft. With their third-round pick — No. 85 overall — the Giants selected right-handed pitcher Mason Black out of Lehigh University.
That follows Mississippi State RHP Will Bednar in the first round, and Fordham LHP Mike Mikulski in the second round. Will the Giants select 20 college arms this draft? Stay tuned to find out.
Black is 21.6 years old, and listed at 6’3”, 230 pounds. He can touch triple digits with his fastball, but lacks a little in command and is still learning to utilize secondary pitches.
