Carson Whisenhunt News
San Francisco Giants starting pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt tossed three 2/3 shutout innings with three hits, two free passes, and seven punchouts in Tuesday's victory. This was a big bounce back for the number two prospect in the San Francisco system, as he has allowed 14 earned runs in his past three starts. The southpaw now sits with an 8.79 ERA and 2.09 WHIP across 14 1/3 innings with 24 strikeouts to begin the season. The 23-year-old has flashed at times but has struggled just as much, which will delay his eventual MLB debut. Nonetheless, Whisenhunt is projected to be promoted later in the season as the Giants look to compete for the NL West.
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher prospect Carson Whisenhunt excelled in his first start of the season for Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday. The lefty tossed three innings and allowed one hit with no runs, no walks and six strikeouts. He also had an impressive 12 swings and misses. Despite a slow start to the offseason with an elbow injury, Whisenhunt shined in his first start of the season and continues to trend up from this past season, that saw him post a 2.45 ERA in 58 2/3 innings across Double-A and Triple-A. The lengthy lefty spent this offseason working on his health, command, and curveball to go along with already plus changeup and sinker. Developing a third pitch can do wonders and it has already paid off in one appearance. The Giants are in it to win it in a tough NL West division and should not be shy about promoting Whisenhunt this season. If promoted, he would be worth rostering with his immense talent and favorable home ballpark.
San Francisco Giants left-hander Carson Whisenhunt (elbow) will face live hitters on Thursday. He has been slow-played during the early portion of spring training after an elbow sprain ended his season early in 2023. A second-round pick in the 2022 MLB draft, Whisenhunt was excellent across three minor-league levels last season, finishing with six starts of 3.20 ERA ball at the Double-A level. He also posted a tidy 1.42 ERA across six starts at High-A. The Giants also have right-hander Sean Hjelle on the shelf due to an elbow sprain, and he is set to be evaluated in two weeks. Whisenhunt is likely to open the season back at Double-A but could be a factor in the Giants' rotation in short order.
