2025 Fantasy Outlook
Control woes continue to plague the Giants' top pitching prospect in 2024. Whisenhunt started 25 games for Triple-A Sacramento, registering an impressive 28.4 percent strikeout rate, but he also logged a generous 11.3 percent walk rate. The 24-year-old southpaw throws a 93-mph sinker, cutter, slider and change-up (which is his best pitch). Metrics like BABIP are unreliable in the Pacific Coast League, but the .369 mark Whisenhunt recorded last season is inflated. The lefty will likely open the year back with the River Cats, ostensibly working on throwing strikes. Last year, 63.7 percent of his pitches were strikes, but since the major league average was 64.3 percent, a modest improvement could put him in the mix for a rotation spot with the Giants. Considering only Logan Webb has a reliable track record, Whisenhunt could force the issue. Read Past Outlooks
Call-up candidate in 2025
The Giants are expected to develop Whisenhunt into a starting pitcher at Triple-A Sacramento this season, though he has the tools to serve as a bullpen option for the club right now, Maria Guardado of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Whisenhunt allowed one earned run, four hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings during Saturday's 5-5 tie in the Giants' Spring Breakout game against the Rangers. The 24-year-old has an elite changeup, and he worked on implementing a slider into his arsenal during his first full season with Triple-A Sacramento last year. Whisenhunt has yet to make an appearance in the big leagues, and he registered a 5.42 ERA over 25 starts with Sacramento last season, racking up 135 strikeouts over 104.2 innings. The left-handed pitcher could warrant a call-up during the 2025 campaign, especially if injuries arise for the parent club.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could debut this year?
Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle indicated "there will be a lot of rumbling" about adding Whisenhunt to the Giants' rotation after Alex Cobb was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with an oblique injury.
ANALYSIS
The 66th overall pick in the 2022 Draft, Whisenhunt has already made his way up to Double-A Richmond. The 22-year-old has a 2.45 ERA and 68:15 K:BB in 47.2 innings across three minor-league levels this year, and a promotion to Triple-A, or even the majors, could be on the horizon if he continues to pitch well. The lefty isn't a likely bet to be called up in the immediate future but could be an option later in the summer.
