J.T. Ginn, newly drafted, is expected to arrive in the major leagues in 2023. Here is why it’s a little bit of a gamble yet at the same time a risk worth taking to have Ginn on the team.
Ginn is a former Mississippi HS hurler with a 3.03 ERA in the minors, although he’s already had to have Tommy John Surgery, which unfortunately is a situation nobody wishes on anyone, especially a highly touted starting pitching prospect such as Ginn.
Ginn started all 18 games, owned a 5-5 record, and with that 3.03 ERA, Ginn looks to have a solid 2022.
Why I feel it’s a risk was only because of the surgery he’s had, although it’s definitely common and not unheard of for pitchers to come back and come back strong from it. It has a major impact on their pitching abilities and performance thereafter, however, one can say anything is possible and there are exceptions to almost everything in baseball and life in general.
Ginn has some raw talent; Scouting Grades: Fastball 60 | Slider 60 | Changeup 55 | Control 50 | Overall 50
Take a closer look at that. That’s real good stuff right there.
J.T. Ginn could very well be on his way to surprising a lot of people.
I’m not saying he’s the next Jacob DeGrom, however, this kid could be someone worth watching in a few years.
