Community Prospect List No. 32

Who is the 32nd-best prospect on the farm?

Another chapter in the 2025 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List is complete, and we’re getting closer to ranking the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization.

Our next name is left-handed starting pitcher Jacob Bresnahan, who has been voted as the No. 31 prospect in his CPL debut.

Bresnahan, who still has five months remaining of teenagedom, is one of the newest players in the system, coming to the Giants at the 2024 trade deadline in the Alex Cobb deal. A 13th-round pick in 2023 who signed for $375,000 (the equivalent of a late-fifth-round pick), Bresnahan has a strong — but slightly wild — fastball, with a promising slider and changeup as well. He was dominant in rookie ball for Cleveland in 2024, with a 2.54 ERA and a 3.57 FIP, and 12.3 strikeouts against just 3.1 walks per nine innings.

But in the Giants organization, with Low-A San Jose, Bresnahan ran into a wall, posting a 10.98 ERA and a 7.32 FIP in seven starts, with 9.6 strikeouts and 7.8 walks per nine innings. Hopefully that was just Bresnahan running out of steam as his first full season went on, and he can get back to his excellent performance in 2025, where he’ll presumably start in San Jose’s rotation.

Now let’s add to the list!
