The Giants’ #45 overall pick is RHP Sean Hjelle

Sean Hjelle is literally a giant. If the Giants’ second pick of the draft makes it to the major leagues, he will tie former reliever Jon Rauch as the tallest to ever play the game at 6’11”. It’s extremely difficult to make it to the major leagues, of course, and every team drafts a player with their own idea of which of his strengths will make him into a success story, but in the case of Hjelle (pronounced “jelly”), there’s no industry consensus about those strengths.

At the moment, we all agree on how he looks.
