Jeff Clark

Organization Prospect Rankings

  Ranked San Francisco Giants #21 prospect in 2003
  After Ryan Jensen won 13 games for the Giants as a rookie last year despite underwhelming stuff, there's hope for Clark. He has won 14 games in each of his two full pro seasons, and he was the high Class A California League's 2002 pitcher of the year and ERA leader. He's considered a similar pitcher to Jensen but with a better body. Clark is 6-foot-6 and 240 pounds, yet doesn't crack 90 mph with his fastball. His biggest assets are his control and his curveball, both of which managers rated the best in the Cal League. He also throws a slider and changeup. He maintains his composure at all times. Guys who do it with smoke and mirrors often are exposed once they get to Double-A, and Clark did get hit hard in his first exposure at that level. That makes 2003 a critical season for Clark to show if he's got what it takes.
