The San Francisco Giants selected three position players and four pitchers with their seven picks. In a way, the ability to control the strike zone is a unifying theme among all these picks.
The three hitters include catcher Patrick Bailey, third baseman Casey Schmitt, and middle infielder Jimmy Glowenke. They went heavy on college talent as they showed a preference for predictability and track record over projectability.
With these selections, they continued to focus on skill at the grassroots level. Through draft picks, minor league signings, and trades, San Francisco is targeting hitters who control the strike zone well.
