Re-ranking SF Giants' Top 10 prospects after trade deadline and MLB Draft

Over the last month, the SF Giants have infused their farm system with a lot of young talent. Last month saw them load up on pitching in the 2026 MLB Draft and in the last week they added eight prospects to the organization in a trade deadline reset.

That means their top-10 prospects look a little bit different now. Of course, different publications have different lists but this is simply what I think the top 10 looks like after all the new players they’ve added to the system. Feel free to disagree with me and tell me I’m a fool!

Giants’ farm system looks very strong after the last month

1. SS Josuar Gonzalez

There are some who think shortstop Josuar Gonzalez could be the top prospect in baseball next year. He has all the tools to be a great big league player someday and based on his early results with the San Jose Giants he is very much on the right track.

He is hitting .250/.387/.375 with one home run and four runs batted in through his first seven games. It’s a small sample size but it’s hard not to be excited about the 18-year-old’s ceiling.

2. SS Luis Hernandez

Both Gonzalez and Luis Hernandez were just elevated to San Jose recently and Hernandez has also impressed thus far after putting on a show in the Arizona Complex League.

He’s got two home runs and he too is a shortstop who has a high ceiling. They’re both just teenagers but the promise is there and that is plenty to dream on.

3. SS Jhonny Level

Up in High-A, a level ahead of Gonzalez and Hernandez, Jhonny Level is doing some very special things with the Eugene Emeralds. He tore it up in San Jose earlier in the year and earned a promotion but he has not skipped a beat.

He’s hitting .286/.346/.475 with six homers and 27 driven in with Eugene. He’s 19 years old so he’s the veteran of their teenage shortstop bunch but the promise is obvious with him as well.

4. RHP Jackson Flora

The Giants took Flora with the No. 4 overall pick in the draft last month. He grew up a Giants fan and just recently visited the ballpark.

He features a wicked fastball and put up really strong numbers at UC Santa Barbara so it’s easy to think about him being in San Francisco’s rotation in just a few years.

5. OF Bo Davidson

Davidson was recently called up to Triple-A and has struggled a bit since joining the River Cats but he had 19 home runs in Double-A earlier this year and he has speed to go along with his power which makes him a very interesting prospect.

6. RHP Ramon Marquez

Just acquired in the Luis Arraez trade with the Philadelphia Phillies, Marquez instantly becomes one of San Francisco’s most intriguing pitching prospects. He has a phenomenal changeup and had a 1.68 ERA on the year before the trade. He’s just 20 years old but he could definitely be a future rotation piece.

7. OF Dakota Jordan

The Giants recently elevated Dakota Jordan to Double-A after a great showing in Eugene earlier in the year. He too has a combination of power and speed so in a dream world both he and Davidson are roaming the outfield for the Giants someday.

8. LHP Henry Lalane

The Giants got the tall, left-handed Lalane in the Heliot Ramos trade with the New York Yankees. His stuff is electric and it’s easy to see him becoming an effective late-inning reliever if things don’t work out as a starter but if he can keep developing his secondary pitches then he might start getting compared to tall lefties like Blake Snell or Randy Johnson.

9. SS Gavin Kilen

While it’s easy to overlook 2025 first-round pick Gavin Kilen with all the young shortstop talent in the organization, he was just promoted to Double-A and has looked good in Richmond so far. He doesn’t have the ceiling of Gonzalez, Level, or Hernandez but he could easily be a solid utility guy or starting second baseman for the Giants in a year or two.

10. LHP Carson Bolemon

The Giants drafted Bolemon with the pick they got from the Cleveland Guardians in the Patrick Bailey trade. He’s straight out of high school so you never know how those young arms will develop but many are high on him and the Giants have had luck drafting young lefties from the Carolinas in the past.

The Giants have done a lot to improve their farm system these last two years. Strong farm systems don’t always lead to better results at the big league level but it’s been clear for years that the Giants need to develop talent from within if they want to build a sustainable team so we can only hope these guys go on to do great things for the Giants.
