Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade/Risk: 50/High

Track Record: Winn is yet another product of junior college powerhouse Iowa Western, which also produced Blue Jays reliever Erik Swanson in recent years. Winn was committed to Texas Christian before the Giants selected him in 2018 with their fifth-round pick and signed him for $500,000. After spending his first two seasons in the low minors, Winn had Tommy John surgery and missed the 2021 season. He returned with a refreshed arsenal in 2022 and cut his way from Low-A to Double-A while racking up 125 strikeouts in 108 innings.

Scouting Report: Winn's fastball averaged 93 mph and touched 95 before surgery, but he came back throwing harder. His fastball now sits 95 mph and touches 100 to be a plus pitch, although it unintentionally behaves like a two-seamer at times. Winn also replaced his traditional changeup with a splitter--which the Giants suggested because of his large hands--and the new offering flashes plus in the upper-80s while getting frequent swings and misses. Winn rounds his mix with a mid-80s slider that projects to be an average pitch. If he can get it there, his mix will pair with his above-average control to form the makings of a back-end starter.

The Future: Winn ran into some fatigue toward the end of last season. He'll likely return to Double-A Richmond in 2023 to continue building up his stamina.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60. Slider: 50. Splitter: 60. Control: 55
