Dante Brinkley

Jayce Tingler and Dante Brinkley are little big men who serve as center fielders and leadoff men for NCAA regional teams. Both are solid runners but their scrappy makeup stands out more than any particular tool... The 5-foot-9 Brinkley, who previously batted third for Southwest Missouri State, broke Bill Mueller's school record for career stolen bases. He uses a split grip a la Hall of Famer Mel Ott and it didn't work as well with wood bats. He hit just .184 on the Cape last summer. The Giants drafted Brinkley (48th round) and Borowiak (49th) with consecutive picks last year.
