Born: August 1, 1989 (age 22)
Team: San Francisco Giants
Position: Pitcher
Bumgarner is just 23-20 in his career, but that is one of those stats where you should ignore it because it doesn't reflect how good of a pitcher he is. In 2010 (20 years old) Bumgarner went 7-6 with a 3.00 ERA pitching 111 innings with 86 Ks. He improved the next season going 13-13 with a 3.21 ERA while pitching 204.2 innings and 191 Ks. Think about that for a 2nd. The kid was 21 years old, pitched over 200 innings and had almost 200 Ks.
If Giants ever get some offense behind this kid he could easily be a 20 game winner. Lets not forget he was a key part of the Giants winning the World Series in 2010. He went 2-0 with a 2.18 ERA, while pitching 20.2 innings with 18 Ks. To be that clutch that young is a great sign, and this is a guy who could be in our top 10 next year, as he is still just 22 years old.
