The San Francisco Giants selected left-handed pitcher Jordan Gottesman from Northeastern with the 176th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. Originally starting at Division-III Endicott, Gottesman did not initially dominate, but his performance improved significantly, culminating in a 2.27 ERA and 97 strikeouts in 83.1 innings at Northeastern. As a fifth-year senior, he has limited negotiating power and is likely to sign for below the recommended slot value of $371,000. The Giants avoided prep prospects due to budget constraints after forfeiting picks for a previous signing.
Gottesman works primarily in the 90-94 range, topping out at 95 MPH. The metrics aren't spectacular but he commands his heater well and knows how to tunnel it with his secondary stuff.
Gottesman recorded a 2.27 ERA with 97 strikeouts and 17 walks in 83.1 innings pitched (16 appearances), showcasing significant improvement after transferring to Northeastern.
