Getting To Know Phil Bickford, The San Francisco Giants' 1st Round Pick In The 2015 MLB Draft

The San Francisco Giants selected RHP Phil Bickford out of Southern Nevada (JUCO) with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft.

Here’s Baseball America’s scouting report of the hurler:

Bickford hasn't consistently reached the 93-96 mph velocity he showed working in a relief role last summer in the Cape, more frequently sitting in the low 90s albeit with late sinking life. His power breaking ball flashed plus last summer but has remained inconsistent this spring, and his changeup remains in its nascent stages.

Bickford tested positive for marijuana before the draft - but that didn't scare away the Giants.
