San Francisco drafted UCSB star Jackson Flora with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. The 6-foot-5 right-hander went 12-0 with a 1.06 ERA and 133 strikeouts in 102 innings as a UCSB junior, and Giants ace Logan Webb endorsed the pick, calling Flora a NorCal kid with big upside and potential to contribute quickly. Webb plans to welcome Flora and mentor him as the Giants build pitching depth toward a possible late-2027 arrival.
