    Giants spring training observations: Some non-roster pitchers are turning heads

    These are all ones to watch, clearly. Kapler said that recent performance will be a factor in evaluations and noted Bracho’s strong work in the Venezuelan winter league, where he was the top closer, and he said that catcher Ricardo Genovés had raved about Bracho’s session throwing live BP. The Giants are big on effective changeups and that’s Bracho’s bread-and-butter, along with a fastball in the low to mid-90s.

    Fungo golf for Giants pitchers; fans for MLB spring games

    Right-hander Kevin Gausman’s impressive day at spring training had nothing to do with any of the usual statistics, like strikeouts or innings pitched. Batting practice for San Francisco's pitchers took on a non-traditional look Thursday at Scottsdale Stadium in Arizona. “We played a little game of Fungo golf with the pitchers just to get them swinging the bats a little bit, just kind of ramping up very, very slowly the intensity and the feeling of having a bat in their hands and finding the sweet spot,” manager Gabe Kapler said of the lighter training bats called Fungos, which players hit toward targets the same way coaches hit infield practice.
