San Francisco Giants:Prospect Watch-Phil Bickford

In the 2013 draft, the Toronto Blue Jays selected Phil Bickford as the 10th pick out of Oaks Christian High School in Westlake, California. He was dominant his senior year, going 12-1 with a 0.83 ERA and 146 strikeouts in 84 2/3 innings. He struck out 18 in the Division IV championship game, to finish his career.

Unfortunately for the Blue Jays, Bickford decided to go to Cal State Fullerton instead, and appeared in 20 games as a freshman. He ended up with a 6-3 record in 10 starts with a 2.13 ERA, striking out 74 in 76 innings.
