View Draft Report
Lefthander Jamie Arneson was a ninth-round pick in 2004 by the Giants, but the high school honors student didn't sign and chose to attend Fresno State. His fastball was touching the 89-91 mph range at times in high school, but he couldn't get much playing time at Fresno State, throwing just 3 1/3 innings and walking seven in the process. He transferred to Bakersfield Junior College and matured physically and emotionally, attacking hitters more consistently with a fastball in the 88-92 range and touching 94 at times. Arneson has a plus changeup as well, and his curveball became more consistent. The combination allowed him to dominate with 102 strikeouts (fifth-best in the state) in just 81 innings. He should go two or three rounds higher than he did in 2004.
