San Francisco Giants pitching prospects have been very impressive so far, led by right-hander Melvin Adon. A starter during the regular season, Adon has moved to the bullpen for the AFL, where he has excelled. Through six appearances, Adon has allowed two runs (one earned) on just three hits across eight innings. He’s struck out 15 batters without allowing a walk.
Adon has garnered plenty of attention with his huge fastball, which routinely touches triple-digits with an extremely easy delivery. His slider has also been at its best this month, showing depth and sharpness that hasn’t always been there in his career.
