Availability
Will Bednar has been reassigned to minor league camp by the San Francisco Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Bednar, the 14th overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, pitched four innings for the Giants this spring. He posted a 2.25 ERA with four walks and three strikeouts. Bednar has intriguing stuff as evidenced by his 232 strikeouts in 167 career minor league innings. However, command has been an issue for the righthander as he has issued 116 walks, 26 hit batters, and 22 wild pitches. Bednar made it to Triple-A Sacramento last season but allowed five runs on six hits in 1.2 innings. He will open the season in either Double-A or Triple-A to continue working on his command.
The Giants have selected Mississippi State right-handed pitcher Will Bednar with the 14th overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft.
Fantasy Impact
Bednar's best pitch is his fastball, which reached the upper-90s this past season. As for secondary pitches, his curveball and slider are above-average pitches that round out his repertoire. Finally, Bednar is working on adding a changeup as his fourth pitch. All in all, the right-hander has solid control and is ultimately a well-rounded prospect.
