J.T.

Ginn

Ginn gave up 10 hits, walked none and struck out three. He only allowed three runs, but he didn’t exactly cover himself in glory in a plus matchup against the White Sox offense. Ginn is 0-1 with a 4.94 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 23 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings this year. The 25-year-old right-hander is set to face the Yankees at home next week. It almost goes without saying that he’s not usable in fantasy for that matchup.

Ginn allowed a solo homer to Trey Sweeney and then two more run-scoring singles. The 25-year-old gave up seven hits while issuing one walk and striking out five. It wasn’t a horrible start for the right-hander, but enough damage was done early — especially with the A’s offense scoring just one run while he was in the game. Ginn has a friendly matchup against the White Sox next weekend.

10 of the 14 balls in play against Ginn were hit hard, but he allowed only three singles and two doubles. He also got his seven strikeouts in spite of a middling 25% CSW. It’s nice that Ginn is holding his own since callup, but his success tonight seemed more about Seattle’s unceasing failure. He’ll face the Tigers next time out.

Ginn gave up four hits, walked one and struck out four. His two previous appearances for Oakland came out of the bullpen, though 20 of his 21 minor league appearances this year were starts. Ginn looked fairly sharp against the Reds, though two of the hits he allowed were home runs. The 25-year-old right-hander is set to face the Mariners at home next week.

Ginn was a second-round pick of the Mets from the 2020 MLB Draft and came over to Oakland as the centerpiece of the Chris Bassitt deal a couple years ago. The 25-year-old earns his first call-up to the big leagues after posting a pedestrian 5.26 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 97/40 K/BB ratio across 102 2/3 innings (21 appearances, 20 starts) this season between Double-A Midland and Triple-A Las Vegas. He’ll pitch in long relief situations right out of the gate for the Athletics.

Ginn struck out seven in the contest, and he allowed just three hits while not issuing a walk. Acquired over the winter from the Mets in the deal that sent Chris Bassitt to New York, Ginn has been someone on prospect aficionados radar since he was in high school -- he was a first-round pick of the Dodgers who didn’t sign in 2018, looked to be a contender for a top 10 pick with Mississippi State before he required Tommy John surgery, and then signed for $2.9 million as a draft-eligible sophomore. He throws all three of his pitches for strikes, and two of those pitches have a chance to be plus in his fastball and slider. Ginn has risk because of the injury history, but it’s never been a question of stuff. He could help the A’s before the end of the year, with 2023 a more likely ETA.

The 22-year-old hurler was ranked as the fifth best prospect in the Mets organization by MLB Pipeline and is a nice get for the A’s considering Bassitt was in the final year of his contract. Ginn posted a 3.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 81/22 K/BB ratio over 92 frames between Class-A St. Lucie and High-A Brooklyn in 2021. He’s likely to begin the 2022 campaign at Double-A Midland.

Ginn, 22, ranked as the fifth best prospect in the Mets system according to MLB Pipeline. He registered a 3.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 81/22 K/BB ratio over 92 innings between Class-A St. Lucie and High-A Brooklyn during the 2021 season. Oller, a 27-year-old right-hander, did not rank among the Mets top 30 prospects. He posted a 3.45 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 138/47 K/BB ratio across 120 innings between Double-A Binghampton and Triple-A Syracuse in 2021.

One of the Mets’ top pitching prospects, Ginn posted a 2.56 ERA and 35/10 K/BB ratio in 38 2/3 innings across eight starts with Class A St. Lucie, with his fastball velocity sitting in the low-to-mid 90s. The 22-year-old was a second round pick last year after undergoing Tommy John surgery, but the Mets have high hopes for him now that he’s back to full health.

Ginn will make his professional debut on Thursday. The 22-year-old slipped to the second round last year after undergoing Tommy John surgery, but the Mets gave him a $2.9 million signing bonus. There’s no doubting that he’s a major talent if he can come back healthy. He’s ranked as the team’s No. 6 prospect by MLB Pipeline, but he could climb quickly.
