The 33rd chapter of the 2022 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List featured one of the more up-and-down prospects in recent San Francisco Giants memory. After being nominated many, many CPLs ago, left-handed pitcher Seth Corry was finally voted in by the McCovey Chronicles community as the No. 33 prospect in the system.
Corry, who turned 23 in the offseason and was a third-round pick in 2017, had a rather awful 2021. He started the year with the High-A Eugene Emeralds, and never got close to a promotion, as he posted a 5.99 ERA and 5.25 FIP. But the biggest worry was not the the runs he allowed, but rather the walks — he issued 63 of them in just 67.2 innings, though he did have 100 strikeouts.
Those problems persisted in the Arizona Fall League, where he gave up just 4 hits and 4 earned runs in 11.2 innings, but issued 12 free passes.
That was enough to drop Corry all the way from No. 6 in last year’s CPL, and the top pitching prospect on the list, to No. 33 on the CPL, and the No. 16 pitching prospect.
