Bob Melvin announced that top pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt will make his major-league debut after the Giants' rotation was impacted by injuries and demotions. Whisenhunt is highly regarded, having recently competed in the All-Star Futures Game and owning a 4.42 ERA in the Pacific Coast League. His changeup, rated an elite 80 on the 20-80 scale, is considered his best pitch. Whisenhunt's performance against the Pirates will dictate his outing length, and he's likely to be followed by Carson Seymour from the bullpen.

Kyson Witherspoon, a right-handed starting pitcher from Jacksonville, Florida, was drafted 15th overall and is one of the top pitching prospects.

Kade Anderson has agreed to a deal with the Mariners for roughly $8.8MM, significantly below the slot price of $9,504,400 for the third overall pick.

Tidwell's 5.00 ERA at Triple-A belies his strong rate stats, indicating significant potential and progress as he prepares for his major league debut with the Mets.

Henderson, 23, opened the season with a clunker in Nashville (four innings, five runs on six hits and three walks) but has bounced back with 10 straight shutout frames.

Gore's career stats projected for 2025 (21-26, 4.20 ERA) reflect the challenges faced by pitching prospects, revealing a need for improved control and consistency.

Watts-Brown's ability to spin breaking balls effectively, especially his versatile slider, indicates significant potential, despite struggles with command and consistency in past performances.
