Giants Prospect Shines Despite Pirates’ Best Efforts to Dim the Debut Spotlight
The Giants were having a really good season for a while, but they have faltered a bit. I’m not blaming him, so don’t take it that way, but ever since Rafael Devers came to the team, they have played under .500 baseball. They were around 10 games over .500 when the trade happened and are just two games over at the moment. They are one of the coldest teams in baseball, having gone just 2-7 since the All-Star Break. If there is any solace, it is that they faced the Blue Jays and Mets and went 0-6 against them. They plays six of their next nine games against the Pirates, so they could jump right back into the playoff race. They have Carson Whisenhunt making his Major League Debut today. He is a 24-year old left-handed pitcher that is highly touted as the Giants #3 prospect. I won’t pretend I follow a ton of Minor League baseball, but reports say he has a great changeup. His numbers aren’t overly impressive at Triple A ball this season, but there has to be something the club sees in his stuff that they don’t care about a 4.42 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and a .273 opponent batting average.
