July 2nd, 2020

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- The San Francisco Giants announced today that they have signed three additional players from this year’s First-Year Player Draft including; IF Casey Schmitt, the Giants’ 49th overall pick, IF Jimmy Glowenke, the club’s 68th overall pick and RHP Ryan Murphy, San Francisco’s fifth round selection. The Giants have now come to terms with four of their seven selections.

Casey Schmitt hit .323 with four doubles and nine RBI in 16 games and recorded six saves as San Diego State’s closer in the shortened 2020 season. Schmitt received second-team all-Mountain West recognition in 2019. As a freshman he became the first SDSU player since Stephen Strasburg in 2007 to be named a freshman first-team All-American by Baseball America after setting SDSU’s single season earned run average record with a 0.28 mark (min. 30ip).

Jimmy Glowenke hit .415 (22-for-53) with seven RBI in 13 games for Dallas Baptist University in 2020. Glowenke is a two-time All-Missouri Valley Conference First Team Selection (2018-19). In his sophomore year he finished the year in the top 10 in nine offensive categories in the MVC. He compiled one of the most decorated freshman seasons in school history after being named a consensus Freshman All-American by five publications. He was also tabbed as the Freshman of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Ryan Murphy made four starts during his junior campaign for Le Moyne College before the COVID-19 shutdown, going 2-1 with a 3.91 ERA (10er, 23.0ip) with 36 strikeouts. Both of his wins this season were 7.0-inning complete games. In three seasons for the Dolphins, Murphy went 16-9 with a 3.40 ERA working primarily as a starter (29 starts, one relief outing). In 203.2 collegiate innings, he struck out 215 while walking 44.
