The Giants' farm system has had an impressive 2025 season, making the largest jump of any organization in MLB.com's August rankings.
This past week, two Giants prospects particularly showed out to earn recognition in Baseball America's Hot Sheet, which highlights the 20 hottest players in the minor leagues.
The hype around Marco Luciano has faded after he was a mainstay among the MLB's top 100 prospects for several years. But the 23-year-old slugger had a huge week with Triple-A Sacramento to earn the No. 20 spot on this list.
Now primarily playing in left field, Luciano went 9-for-22 with four extra-base hits and eight runs across five games. His massive home run to center field on Sunday only went 436 feet (not 508 feet as initially listed by Statcast) for his 23rd of the season.
"With weeks like this, it's easy to still hold out a flicker of hope for Luciano, the Giants' former top prospect whose star has faded in recent years as he's scuffled at Triple-A," Baseball America's Josh Norris wrote. "He hasn't torn it up this year, but his last two months have provided reason for optimism. Since July 1, Luciano, who is days away from turning 24, has hit .252/.411/.585 with eight doubles, 11 home runs and nearly as many walks (34) as strikeouts (36)."
At No. 9 is a new face in the Giants' organization, outfielder Parks Harber. The 23-year-old was acquired at the trade deadline when San Francisco sent Camilo Doval to the New York Yankees.
Playing with the Giants' High-A affiliate in Eugene, Harber batted 9-for-24 with a whopping five home runs in just one week.
"Harber, acquired from the Yankees in the Camilo Doval trade, brings a power-first profile to the organization," Jesús Cano detailed. "He launched 20 homers during his senior season at North Carolina, and that raw strength has continued to translate in pro ball. That power erupted this week with a five-homer outburst. If he can build on that momentum, Harber could become a slugging threat."
Though Harber isn't currently listed among the Giants' top 30 prospects according to MLB Pipeline or Baseball America, the organization will hope he can continue this momentum through the rest of the season and beyond.
