The 2022 draft produced one player with 10+ WAR and that's the Angels SS Zach Neto. He was a college pick (Campbell) and was the #13 selection overall. HS SS Cole Young was the 21st pick, he's the Mariners 2B and has 2.7 bWAR. Cubs starter Cade Horton (2.3 WAR) was a college pitcher (Oklahoma) and the #7 pick. Reds IF Sal Stewart was the #32 pick, he was a HS 3B and is listed at 1.6 WAR.
Rounding out the top five is HS SS Jackson Holliday (son of Matt) who has tallied 0.8 WAR as an Orioles infielder. He was the #1 pick that year.
Of interest to Giants fans is the #4 pick: Temarr Johnson (HS SS) went to the Pirates. He's in AAA right now. There's talk the Giants (with the #4 pick) will take HS SS Jacob Lombard.
The Giants took 2-way player Reggie Crawford in 2022 with the #30 pick. He's no longer a pitcher and has battled injuries. He's had fewer games in the minors than he did in college.
However the Giants made out OK with that draft as they've traded for the #19 pick (Daniel Susac) and the #28 pick (Drew Gilbert).
We'll take a look at 2023 and 2024 next.

The Mets fired their manager (Carlos Mendoza). Former Padres manager Andy Green takes the helm. He was with the organization in the player development department.
The Giants don't seem to be taking the "fire the manager" route yet. That's OK. I'm not sure that would make a difference. Finding some good pitchers seems a better use of Buster's time.
