Simon just finished his junior season for Notre Dame, where he made 16 appearances and 7 starts. He threw 30.2 innings and compiled a 2-1 record, 4.99 ERA, and 56 strikeouts. Simon’s stuff is strong, it just hasn’t always translated into success on the mound, but there is certainly a lot of talent to work with here for the Giants.

As the number 166 pick Simon carries a slot value of #322,400. The draft capital that the Giants have invested in him suggests he will be given a chance to start in the minor leagues, but his future probably lies in the bullpen. His stuff plays up there, especially his fastball – which has reached as high as 100 mph – and his strikeout ability. There’s work to do, but this is a high upside pick for the Giants if everything goes right.
