Drafting in baseball has long been an inexact science, but the Giants have had the good fortune of hitting on several players who developed into foundational pieces for some of the best teams in franchise history.
Here’s a look at San Francisco’s Top 5 homegrown Draft picks:
1) Buster Posey
First round, fifth overall, 2008
Catcher Buster Posey was a Freshman All-America shortstop in his first year at Florida State University, but he converted to catcher as a sophomore at the suggestion of one of his coaches. It proved to be a smart move. Despite having no previous catching experience, Posey demonstrated a remarkable aptitude for the position and quickly developed into a plus defender behind the plate. That skill, coupled with his offensive prowess, transformed him into one of the most coveted picks in the country leading up to the 2008 MLB Draft.
