We’re slowly nearing an end to the 2022 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List, but we’ve still got a few names to add before we have the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. And today we crown No. 36: right-handed pitcher Carson Ragsdale.
Ragsdale, who will turn 24 in May, was a fourth-round pick in the 2020 MLB Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies. The Giants traded for him last year in a deal that sent reliever Sam Coonrod to Philly, and sent Ragsdale to the Low-A San Jose Giants for his professional debut.
His run prevention there wasn’t great, but Ragsdale showed off some impressive kill pitches. He finished the year with a 4.43 ERA and 4.12 FIP, but struck out 167 batters in 113.2 innings, while allowing 45 walks.
Now we add another name to the list, and we’ve got some new players to choose from.
