The 2025 MLB Draft will get started at 6:00 pm Eastern on Sunday, July 13th. The San Francisco Giants are scheduled to make 18 selections in the 20-round draft after forfeiting a pair of picks to sign Willy Adames last offseason. Assuming they are able to sign all of their picks, which is not guaranteed, the Giants could add 18 new prospects to the organization.
With the 13th overall pick, the Giants options in the first-round (and beyond) will be shaped by the strategies of the teams above them. There is no clear consensus among draft reporters about who specifically San Francisco is targeting.
As the Giants make their selections, the tracker will be updated with links to more detailed posts as they are published.
*The Giants lost their second and fifth-round picks for signing shortstop Willy Adames in free agency last offseason.
Day 1 picks:
1st round (13th overall): Gavin Kilen, Infielder, Tennessee
Primarily a shortstop in college, Kilen’s defensive future is uncertain, but he has the offensive potential to withstand a move to second base or another less valuable defensive position. Read more about the pick here
3rd round (85th overall): Trevor Cohen, OF, Rutgers
A big draft riser in the pre-draft process, Cohen is another bat-first collegiate prospect who showcased elite contact skills. Read more about the pick here
Day 2 picks:
4th round (116th overall): Lorenzo Meola, SS, Stetson (FL)
After grabbing some bat-first prospects on Day 1, the Giants added a glove-first shortstop to start Day 2. Meola has the potential to be a plus or better defensive shortstop, but has questions about his offensive upside. Read more about the pick here
6th round (176th overall): Jordan Gottesman, LHP, Northeastern (MA)
A fifth-year senior who started his career at Division-III Endicott, Gottesman has taken massive development strides over his college career. The Giants are betting on that development continuing as a pro. Read more about the pick here
7th round (206th overall): Cameron Maldonado, OF, Northeastern (MA)
I don’t think anyone can say they expected back-to-back Northeastern picks from the Giants, but that’s what we got. Maldonado is a toolsy outfielder whose stock peaked after an explosive freshman campaign. However, some struggles as a sophomore alongside growing concerns about his hit-tools led him to fall to the mid rounds. Read more about the pick here
8th round (236th overall): Ben Bybee, RHP, Arkansas
A 6’6 reliever whose fastball sits in the low-to-mid 90s, Bybee relies on his feel for three pitches. Bybee seems to lack a clear carrying pitch, but his fastball, changeup, and breaking ball all have flashed solid big-league potential. Read more about the pick here
9th round (266th overall): Reid Worley, RHP, Cherokee High School (Canton, GA)
The Giants first prep selection of the class is a right-handed pitcher committed to Kennesaw State with a particular feel for spin. Read more about the pick here
10th round (296th overall): Isaiah Barkett, 2B, Stetson (FL)
Barkett was an extremely productive infielder over the past two seasons at Stetson, showcasing elite contact ability and plus speed. However, limited power and defensive versatility limited his upside as a prospect. Read more about the pick here
11th round (326th overall): Rod Barajas Jr., C, Saddleback Community College (CA)
Yep, that’s the son of Rod Barajas, a 14-year MLB veteran at the same position. Junior hit .289/.421/.472 this year and, like so many players the Giants are drafting, had more walks than strikeouts. Given his dad’s reputation, it’s safe to say he’s a decent defensive player, too.
12th round (356th overall): Cody Delvecchio, RHP, UCLA
After a strong 2024, Delvecchio struggled in 2025, which likely hurt his draft stock. He made eight starts and finished the year with a 6.81 ERA, with 39 strikeouts and 12 walks in 37 innings. He played summer ball, but had a bloated ERA there as well. He’s listed at just 5’10, so he’s on the small side for a pitcher.
13th round (386th overall): Broedy Poppell, C, Florida A&M
A switch-hitter with an 80-grade name, Poppell had — you guessed it — more walks than strikeouts last year, when he hit .325/.451/.613, with 12 home runs in 58 games. He also had a solid summer ball performance in the Coastal Plain League.
14th round (416th overall): Trey Seeley, RHP, Hope International University (CA)
Seeley only had a 3.73 ERA in 2024 against NAIA competition, but he did show off some strikeout stuff, with 135 punchouts in 99 innings, with only 34 walks. He missed the 2025 collegiate season, but returned for summer ball in the California Collegiate League, and was highly impressive, with 18 strikeouts against three walks in 11.2 innings.
15th round (446th overall): Damian Bravo, OF, Texas Tech
A more traditional right-handed slugger this time around. Bravo had a great slash line as a junior, hitting .330/.384/.580 in the Big 12, but struck out about three times as often as he walked.
16th round (476th overall): Garrett Langrell, RHP, Creighton
Langrell is a very tall pitcher, as he’s listed at 6’7. He had a solid year in the Big East, with a 3.61 ERA and 57 strikeouts against 11 walks in 52.1 innings, while working as a reliever. He didn’t play summer ball this year, but in 2024 had 17 strikeouts to just one walk in 11.2 innings in the Coastal Plain League.
17th round (506th overall): Luke Mensik, RHP, Lincoln-Way Central High School (New Lenox, IL)
We’ll see if the Giants are able to sign Mensik, as late-round high schoolers are the hardest players to sign. The 6’2 Mensik had a 0.76 ERA as a senior in high school, and is committed to Xavier.
18th round (536th overall): Cooper McGrath, RHP, Northeastern (MA)
Yes, the Giants drafted a whopping three players out of Northeastern, to go with a pair of players from Stetson. McGrath is another tall pitcher, as he’s listed at 6’8. He’s pitched somewhat sparingly, with fewer than 90 innings thrown over his four-year college career. He had a 1.66 ERA as a senior, but has struggled with walks his whole career, though he showed improvement during summer ball.
19th round (566th overall): Braydon Risley, LHP, Grayson College (TX)
Risley showed good command in his final year of JUCO baseball, with 83 strikeouts against 18 walks in 66.2 innings, to go with a 3.24 ERA.
20th round (596th overall): Elijah McNeal, SS, Dublin High School (Dublin, CA)
The Giants went in their backyard for their final pick, and are hoping that being the hometown team is enough to keep the right-handed hitter from his commitment to UC Davis. He has power up the middle, as he has graded out well for both hitting pop and arm strength.
