2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List No. 12

We’re starting to get into the portion of the offseason where rumors and reports of signings and trades will dominate the news cycle. But that doesn’t make our job here at the 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List any less pivotal: we must rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization.

With the last chapter of the CPL, we’ve officially started the post-top 10 portion of the list. And while the names may be less shiny now, we’re still covering a lot of exciting prospects who could one day exceed expectations and prove to be franchise cornerstones, as Logan Webb and Patrick Bailey did in recent years.

Kicking off this portion of the list is lefty Jacob Bresnahan, who has been voted as the No. 11 prospect in the system. That’s a rise of 20 spots for Bresnahan, who made his CPL debut last year at the No. 31 spot. A rise of 20 spots means either a statistically exceptional year or a season which opened eyes for scouts, and for the southpaw who turned 20 over the summer, it was emphatically both.

Bresnahan, who came to the Giants in the summer of 2023 in the Alex Cobb trade, spent the entire year with Low-A San Jose where he was phenomenal, earning Pitcher of the Year honors in the California League. The 6’4 lefty made 22 starts for the Baby Giants, finishing the season with a 2.61 ERA and a 3.00 FIP, while striking out 124 batters and walking 43 in 93 innings. He works with a strong fastball/changeup mix, and also has an intriguing slider, so the arsenal is certainly enough to continue his development as a starter.

While the numbers were encouraging, the process was just as good, as evidenced by the recent Giants top 10 list from Baseball America, which placed Bresnahan as the fifth-best prospect in the entire system … and the top-rated pitcher. He’ll have a critical year ahead of him, which he’ll start with High-A Eugene, in which he’ll try to prove that he’s not just beating up on lower-level talent, but a bonafide starting pitcher prospect. If he pitches as well in the Northwest League as he did in the Cal League, you can lock him in for a spot in the top 10 next year.

Now let’s add to the list, and don’t forget that it’s also nomination day! Head to the comment section to vote for the No. 12 prospect, and also to nominate the next batch of prospects for Monday’s CPL.
