The San Francisco Giants have a fresh batch of talent after the 2012 MLB First-Year Player Draft, which as you might guess was heavily tilted towards the pitching department once again.
Of the 40 players the Giants selected this year, the Giants selected more pitchers than position players at a 21 to 19 clip, including 14 pitchers on the third day of the Draft Wednesday. Only five players were high school players, with four of those were selected in the final four rounds (37-40). 19 off the 21 pitchers selected were college pitchers as well, including seven of their first eight picks.
Below is the complete list of the Giants 2012 MLB Draft picks. Those highlighted include a link to their respective MLB.com scouting video.
