Bryan Hoeing

The Giants took Hoeing in the 36th round last year after his junior season with Louisville, but the 6-foot-6, 225-pound righty decided to go back to campus where he’s had a career-best year splitting time as a starter and a reliever. Through 50.2 innings, Hoeing has posted a 2.66 ERA with 10.84 strikeouts per nine that easily tops his previous best strikeout rate, and has also cut his walks. Hoeing has solid stuff, with a fastball that gets up to 95 and a pair of average secondaries in a curveball and a splitter. Hoeing has a clean, repeatable delivery with a three-quarter, low-effort slot, but he lacks deception and can get hit around at times a bit because of that. Hoeing has been more effective in a reliever role than as a starter.
