The SF Giants selected NC State left-handed pitcher Nick Swiney with the 67th overall pick.

With the No. 67 overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, the SF Giants decided to take a left-handed pitcher from the state of North Carolina by the name of Nick Swiney.

That was the same selection the Giants acquired as compensation for losing Madison Bumgarner in the offseason. Coincidentally, Bumgarner is a fellow southpaw from North Carolina.

It’s funny how those things tend to work out.
