1-25) Giants: Christian Arroyo, SS, Hernando HS, Brooksville, Florida: Arroyo is well-known to scouts but was seen more as a second round guy pre-draft. He might have been a victim of "Shiny New Toy" syndrome, with pop-up and helium guys getting more attention.The 6-1,180 pound right-handed hitter has a track record of strong hitting but scouts have been unsure about his long-term defensive position. It will be very interesting to see if a pre-draft deal has been struck between Arroyo and the Giants.
maybe theyre going the royals route of lower ceiling quantity over higher ceiling quality with their draft budget
