The SF Giants surprised a lot of people with the selection of NC State catcher Patrick Bailey.
The SF Giants clearly went into the 2020 MLB Draft with a best-player approach. Or at least, that’s how things developed as their selection of NC State catcher Patrick Bailey is undoubtedly a confusing one.
Bailey was considered to be one of the top catcher prospects in the class, but he wasn’t a name closely associated with the Giants in recent weeks. Instead, it was high schooler Tyler Soderstrom who had been heavily connected to San Francisco.
