It's hard not to get excited about Casey Schmitt. Just three games into the young San Francisco Giant's big league career, he has amassed eight hits, including two homers and a double, tying Willie McCovey for the most hits in a Giants player's first three MLB games.

Schmitt had all of his tools on display in last night 6-2 win, hitting a 443-foot homer that was hit 112 mph, making a 93 mph throw, and running a 29.5 feet per second sprint speed. Is there anything Schmitt can't do? He wasn't considered a top 100 prospect by most evaluators coming into the season, but the SF Giants have seemed much higher on him than the general consensus among the prospect ranking community. So far, the Giants look like they know what they're talking about, but it is just three games and we need to see a lot more. But so far, Schmitt couldn't have been more impressive.

Speaking of impressive, Alex Cobb lowered his ERA to an NL-best 1.70 with 7.1 more shutout innings. Three of his last four outings have been scoreless and at least seven innings, including a complete-game shutout. Logan Webb, Cobb, Tony DeSclafani, and Alex Wood, who's poised to come off the IL as soon as today, form a strong foursome. Sean Manaea and Ross Stripling have struggled mightily, but the Giants have some intriguing youngsters like Kyle Harrison (who's outing last night and season overall are discussed in detail) and Keaton Winn on the cusp of the majors.
