NEW YORK — Five years after a player chosen with the 10th overall pick in Major League Baseball’s amateur draft willed the Giants to their third World Series title in five seasons, the franchise was on the clock again at No. 10.
They can only hope Hunter Bishop of Arizona State produces a similar impact Madison Bumgarner has made during his Giants career.
Under first-year president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and new amateur scouting director Michael Holmes, the Giants used their first round selection on an outfielder, Bishop, who attended Serra High in San Mateo before playing at Arizona State.
