Second-round pick Casey Schmitt of San Diego State among three draftees who signed Thursday.

A day after the Giants signed their firstround draft pick, they wrapped up a deal with their secondroun­der.

Casey Schmitt of San Diego State was among three Giants draftees who signed Thursday, the team said. Schmitt was a twoway player in college — a third baseman and relief pitcher — but the Giants initially plan to use him on the offensive side.

Schmitt was drafted 49th overall. The two others to sign were Dallas Baptist University shortstop Jimmy Glowenke, a compensati­on pick who was selected 68th overall, and fifthround­er (144th overall) Ryan Murphy, a pitcher from Le Moyne College.

Wednesday, the Giants announced the signing of top pick Patrick Bailey, a catcher from North Carolina State, for a reported $3.8 million.

The Giants drafted seven players and must stay within their $9.2 million pool. They had agreed to terms with their thirdround pick, pitcher

Kyle Harrison of De La Salle High in Concord, for $2.5 million but haven’t announced the deal. The projected slot value of the Harrison pick (85th) was $710,000, but the pot needed to be sweetened because of the lefty’s scholarshi­p offer from UCLA.

Schmitt hit .323 with six saves in 16 games before the conronavir­us pandemic shut down the NCAA season. In his twoplus seasons as an Aztec, he hit .295 with six homers, a .366 onbase percentage and .408 slugging percentage.

As a pitcher, Schmitt had a a 2.48 ERA and 23 saves, striking out 78 batters in 87 innings. His freshman ERA was 0.28 in 32 innings.

The Giants had two compensati­on picks for losing Madison Bumgarner and Will Smith to free agency and used the 67th pick, which they got for Bumgarner, on Glowenke.
