Jacob Bresnahan

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked San Francisco Giants #25 prospect in 2025
  BA Grade/Risk: 40/High.
  
  Track Record: Bresnahan was under the radar for most of his amateur career, but a strong senior season of high school changed that perception. He was one of the younger players in his draft class, and the Guardians took him in the 13th round and signed him away from a commitment to Oregon. The $375,000 outlay was the highest Cleveland had ever paid for a player in that round. They traded him to San Francisco that summer in the deal that sent Alex Cobb to Cleveland.
  
  Scouting Report: Bresnahan is a long, lean lefthander with a three-pitch mix that could take a big jump if he’s able to add strength to his frame. His fastball averaged around 92 mph and touched up to 95 mph with roughly 17 inches of induced vertical break. He backs it with a low-80s slider and a mid-80s changeup. The former pitch shows inconsistent break and can occasionally appear like a curveball. The latter is in its developmental stages but scouts before the draft believed it could be an above-average pitch one day. The Giants believe Bresnahan’s stuff will take a jump forward once he gets into the weight room and packs on more muscle. Scouts outside the system thought his feel to spin was only fair but noted he seemed receptive to coaching.
  
  The Future: Bresnahan’s first full year in the San Francisco system will likely be spent at the Class A levels. He has the projection of a back-end starter if he can get stronger and add more power to his mix.
