            As a junior in high school, Ginn’s bat stood out just as much as his pitching, as he batted .482 with 16 home runs. During his senior year, he batted .419 with nine home runs in addition to pitching to a 5-1 record with a 0.36 ERA. Later that year he was named the Mississippi Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year. Entering college, Ginn decided to focus more on pitching, and scouts were impressed by his numbers.

 

In his first year at Mississippi, Ginn went 8-4 with 105 strikeouts, 19 walks, and a 3.13 ERA. His long list of accomplishments include All-USA Baseball Player of the Year and an All-Southeast Perfect Game selection.

 

 

Observation –    This is a great pick!

 

Ginn would have easily been a Top 10 pick but went down early this year that resulted in TJS. He probably won’t be back for the beginning of next season but you have to still project him as a potential starter for the Mets in three years. If not, huge upside as a future reliever.

  1. I like the pick as well. Hopefully they saved enough money with the later picks to sign him.

    You would think he would miss most of his junior year alt college as well. So college wise he probably won’t pitch until his senior year. If he signs he may be able to start pitching for at least a month or two in the minors next year, when college ball would have been over?
