Giants Draft Waechter to Boost Pitching | San Francisco Giants News
Description
The Giants are doubling down on pitching in this year’s draft, adding high school right-hander Kaden Waechter—fifty-fifth overall—to their arsenal. A Florida native with a fastball in the low 90s and a smooth delivery, Waechter boasts elite control and a family legacy: his dad pitched in the majors. Despite fluctuating draft rankings, the Giants’ pick at 55 aligns with his projected value, though he may command more than slot due to his Florida State commitment. With a 1.15 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 61 innings last season, Waechter’s blend of tools, mechanics, and upside makes him a key piece in San Francisco’s young arm pipeline.
