Career Transactions
Selected by Giants in first round (18th overall) of 2015 draft; signed June 26, 2015
Background
A two-time first round pick (he was drafted in the first round by the Blue Jays in 2013 out of high school), Bickford has done an outstanding job of missing bats.
What to Watch For
Bickford’s fastball is one of the best in the minors more for its running life and his deception than it’s still solid low-to-mid-90s velocity. His slider is an excellent second offering.
