With the 29th pick in the @MLBDraft<\/a>, the @SFGiants<\/a> have selected LHP Carson Bolemon out of Southside Christian HS (SC) <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what people were saying about Bolemon:<\/p>\n

Alex Pavlovic:<\/a> \u201cWith the pick they got in the Patrick Bailey<\/a> trade, the Giants<\/a> selected high school left-handed pitcher Carson Bolemon. It\u2019s a farm system short on pitching and it seems they\u2019re trying to load up.\u201d<\/p>\n

MLB Draft:<\/a> \u201cWith the 29th pick in the 2026 Draft, the @SFGiants select Southside Christian (SC) left-handed pitcher Carson Bolemon, No. 24 on the Top 250 Draft prospects list.\u201d<\/p>\n

@ByMMonreal:<\/a> \u201cCarson Coleman<\/a> was dominant in his senior season out of the South Carolina prep scene and feels like a PERFECT pick at #29 overall for the #SFGiants. I\u2019d assume he gets a healthy payday over slot value. He had a miniscule 0.17 ERA with 91 Ks and 13 BBs in 41.1 innings.\u201d<\/p>\n

@justdelossantos:<\/a> \u201cTony Vitello said he recruited Carson Bolemon, the Giants\u2019 29th pick, but Bolemon committed to Wake Forest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Doyle:<\/a> \u201cCarson Bolemon to the San Francisco Giants<\/a> is my single-favorite pick of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

@C2Cbsbl:<\/a> \u201cCarson Bolemon is the newest Giant Prep LHP 6\u2019 4\u201d 215 lbs, great projectable frame Plus command for age 2 plus breakers (Slider and Curve) Good carry on the heater, sit 91-94, can touch 96 Absolutely love this pick\u201d<\/p>\n

Griffin Lamphier:<\/a> \u201cWake Forest commit Carson Bolemon goes 29th to the Giants<\/a>. It\u2019ll take a significant amount of money to get him signed, but it\u2019s rare for first rounders not to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
