Here’s what people were saying about Bolemon:
Alex Pavlovic: “With the pick they got in the Patrick Bailey trade, the Giants selected high school left-handed pitcher Carson Bolemon. It’s a farm system short on pitching and it seems they’re trying to load up.”
MLB Draft: “With the 29th pick in the 2026 Draft, the @SFGiants select Southside Christian (SC) left-handed pitcher Carson Bolemon, No. 24 on the Top 250 Draft prospects list.”
@ByMMonreal: “Carson Coleman was dominant in his senior season out of the South Carolina prep scene and feels like a PERFECT pick at #29 overall for the #SFGiants. I’d assume he gets a healthy payday over slot value. He had a miniscule 0.17 ERA with 91 Ks and 13 BBs in 41.1 innings.”
@justdelossantos: “Tony Vitello said he recruited Carson Bolemon, the Giants’ 29th pick, but Bolemon committed to Wake Forest.”
Joe Doyle: “Carson Bolemon to the San Francisco Giants is my single-favorite pick of the day.”
@C2Cbsbl: “Carson Bolemon is the newest Giant Prep LHP 6’ 4” 215 lbs, great projectable frame Plus command for age 2 plus breakers (Slider and Curve) Good carry on the heater, sit 91-94, can touch 96 Absolutely love this pick”
Griffin Lamphier: “Wake Forest commit Carson Bolemon goes 29th to the Giants. It’ll take a significant amount of money to get him signed, but it’s rare for first rounders not to go.”
