SF Giants choice Harrison, leaving Birdsong, Roupp as finalists for fifth rotation spot

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Ultimately, the competitors for the fifth spot within the Giants’ rotation was all the time going to return all the way down to Hayden Birdsong and Landen Roupp. And Kyle Harrison, because of circumstances he couldn’t management, was all the time on the skin wanting in.

The Giants introduced on Saturday morning that they optioned Harrison, leaving Birdsong and Roupp as the 2 finalists to spherical out San Francisco’s beginning rotation.

“When you talk about the competition for the five spot, he was never really in it based on his starting point and where he is right now,” stated supervisor Bob Melvin. “We just need to get him up to speed and get him more innings and get him stretched out longer in games. It was always more between Roupp and Birdsong. I think Kyle was kind of lumped into that, but kind of unfairly because he was behind in his progression.”

Harrison, on paper, was the favourite to win the fifth spot within the rotation coming into camp after making 24 begins and tossing 124 1/3 innings final season, each of which had been second solely to Logan Webb. Regardless of his incumbent standing, Harrison was behind in his development in comparison with his fellow starters after dropping 10 to fifteen kilos because of an sickness proper earlier than the beginning of camp.

Roupp and Birdsong made their Cactus League debuts on Feb. 22 and Feb. 23, respectively, however Harrison didn’t seem in his first spring coaching sport till Feb. 28. Moreover, Birdsong and Roupp have every thrown 12 innings this spring, their longest outings every being 5 innings. Harrison, by comparability, has solely thrown 6 2/3 innings, his longest look being three innings. Birdsong, Harrison and Roupp will all pitch within the Giants’ exhibition towards the Sacramento River Cats on Sunday; Roupp will begin for the Giants and be adopted by Birdsong whereas Harrison will begin for the River Cats.

“We’ll see where we are with him,” Melvin stated on March 16 after Harrison allowed three earned runs over three innings. “He’s a little bit behind everybody. Today, getting him three innings and it seemed like there was a little bit more life in his arm. Like I said, it was a step in the right direction.”

When requested about what the Giants will do as soon as Harrison is stretched out, Melvin stated the workforce will give attention to setting the Opening Day roster and go from there.

With Harrison formally out of the race, San Francisco must decide whether or not Birdsong or Roupp will get the ultimate spot within the rotation. Of the 2, Birdsong seems to have the benefit.

In 4 Cactus League appearances, the 23-year-old Birdsong has allowed one earned run throughout 12 innings (0.75 ERA) with 18 strikeouts. Arguably essentially the most spectacular a part of Birdsong’s spring is that he hasn’t walked a single batter, no small feat given he walked 13.7% of the batters he confronted as a rookie.

Roupp, 26, has loved a formidable spring in his personal proper. Together with a 3.75 ERA with 14 strikeouts to 2 walks throughout Cactus League play, Roupp struck out 13 batters over 5 scoreless innings. However because the Giants put together to journey again to California, the benefit doubtless belongs to Birdsong.

Melvin confirmed on Saturday that Birdsong and Roupp may each make the Opening Day roster — one beginning, one relieving. If Birdsong will get the rotation spot, Roupp may spherical out the bullpen. Roupp beginning for the Giants on Sunday doubtless isn’t a sign that the Giants favor him over Birdsong for the ultimate rotation spot.

“Both of them have pitched really well,” Melvin stated. “It’s been pretty difficult to figure out if one of them’s in the bullpen, one of them’s in the (rotation) and who’s it going to be. I’m not saying that’s the way it’s going to be — that option is there. But it’s been very difficult because of them have pitched really well and you love seeing that.”

Mentioned Webb of the battle on Friday: “I think the world of all three of those guys. … They’ve all done really well during spring. It’s been awesome to see. I’ve been around all three of those guys for a while now. … I know there will be an odd guy out. That’s kind of the (unfortunate) part of baseball, but for those guys, they just have to keep working, keep doing things. Throughout a baseball season, every guy counts. I know those guys are going to throw very meaningful innings.”

Winn, Lucchesi additionally a part of cuts

Together with Harrison, right-hander Keaton Winn was optioned and left-hander Joey Lucchesi, a non-roster invitee, was re-assigned to minor league camp.

With Lucchesi out of the operating for the Opening Day roster, the Giants will open the season with Erik Miller as the one left-handed reliever within the bullpen. Lucchesi has an out in his contract, however not till July.

“He’s a starter trying to acclimate to that role,” Melvin stated. “His clean innings were clean and he pitched well. It’s just about trying to keep as many options open as we can. Which, a lot of times at the beginning of the season, you look to do, but there’s also some other guys that have performed really well that are going to be on the team.”
