View Draft Report
Kansas righthander Bretty Bochy would have been one of the top picks in the state had he not blown out his elbow and had Tommy John surgery in early April. Before he got hurt, the 6-foot-2, 180-pound redshirt junior was dominating hitters with his 91-93 mph fastball and his slider. He's the son of former big leaguer and current Giants manager Bruce Bochy.

It took all spring, but Giants manager Bruce Bochy finally worked his son into a Cactus League exhibition just before San Francisco broke camp. The former Jayhawks closer responded by casually recording three outsÂ--including a strikeout of Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy--on a handful of pitches. It brought great satisfaction to the manager, who hasn't been present for most of his son's baseball career. Like his dad, Bochy is the laconic sort who carries himself with confidence and knows what pitch is called for in a given situation. There's no nepotism in a pitcher who conquered Double-A in his second pro season just two years removed from April 2010 Tommy John surgery. Bochy has a disappearing 88-90 mph fastball that he throws from a deceptive arm angle. He has plus command of a tight slider that he can make bigger when needed, and he can sink or cut his fastball when he wants a ground ball. He's a bit of an arm swinger, throwing across his body, so durability remains the biggest question. Bochy was shut down late in the season because of shoulder fatigue, precluding him from possibly pitching for France in the World Baseball Classic qualifier. His medicals checked out and he's done plenty to deserve a promotion to Triple-A.
