Another Bonds Joins Giants Organization: Peyton Is Drafted by Same Team Barry and Bobby Played For
Peyton Bonds posted a .352 average and 110.6 mph exit velocity, giving San Francisco another power-hitting prospect in the third round.
- On Saturday, July 11, 2026, the San Francisco Giants selected outfielder Peyton Bonds with the 90th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. The Rutgers standout marks the first position player added to the organization this draft cycle.
- As a third-generation athlete, Peyton is the nephew of seven-time MVP Barry Bonds and grandson of late big league veteran Bobby Bonds. He enters the Giants organization after a collegiate career at Rutgers University.
- Citing the outfielder's "super high exit velocities," scouting director Michael Holmes emphasized the selection was based on talent. The 6-foot-5 outfielder recorded six home runs and 29 RBIs during his recent season.
- Barry Bonds is no longer affiliated with the club following the expiration of his special adviser contract last December. Peyton is currently the only member of the family associated with the team.
- Prioritizing pitching on Saturday, the Giants selected four pitchers including top pick Jackson Flora from UC Santa Barbara. These additions demonstrate the team's strategy to bolster their farm system alongside the acquisition of Bonds.
