SAN FRANCISCO — The wait is over for the top pitching prospect in the Giants’ organization.
The club announced that right-hander Shaun Anderson will start and make his major league debut on Wednesday at Oracle Park against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Anderson, 24, owns a 4.11 ERA in seven starts at Triple-A Sacramento and is ranked as the No. 4 prospect and the top pitching in the Giants’ farm system according to MLB.com. Anderson spent much of spring training in big league camp with the Giants and impressed the team’s evaluators with a four-pitch mix including a fastball that routinely touches the mid 90s.
