A Bit of 'Moonlight' Shines on Giants Prospect Derek Law

Derek Law - Arizona Fall League

This guys has a chance to be the 2014 version of Jake Dunning, a solid contributor who fits right in and gives you solid innings. If both Law and Heath Hembree pitch like they belong, the Giants will have s pretty deep and effective bullpen. 

from Bleacher Report:

A Bit of 'Moonlight' Shines on Giants Prospect Derek Law:

“

Never give the hitter too much credit, ever. They’ll get themselves out seven times out of 10, at least. That’s why I’m a strike thrower. Or try to be, at least.

”

Derek Law is a right-handed pitcher with a unique, back-turning delivery, a deceptive fastball and a sledgehammer of a curve that leaves batters mumbling and scouts scribbling. He hasn’t pitched above Single-A San Jose (where, ridiculously, he struck out 45 and walked one), but his stuff has him on the cusp of the majors. After he mowed down top prospects in the Arizona Fall League, Giants GM Brian Sabean said he wouldn’t rule out Law winning a place in the opening-day bullpen.

“He’ll get due consideration,” Sabean said. “His time could be soon.”

Comments from Sabean from an earlier interview:



Derek Law: “Obviously was dominant and didn’t give up a run (in the AFL) and it really turned our heads because it by and large is a hitters’ league … I’m really interested to see what he does against Major League hitters in spring training. He’s got a breaking ball, being that hard overhand curveball that you don’t see. The action is almost like a splitter.”
