Teng received the largest bonus given to a Taiwanese prospect in the 2017 international class, signing for $500,000 with the Twins in October. In a trade that could pay significant dividends for the Giants, they sent Sam Dyson to Minnesota last July in exchange for Teng, slugger Jaylin Davis and live-armed right-hander Prelander Berroa. He opened last season in extended spring training before dominating low Class A at age 20, going 7-0 with a 1.58 ERA and a .510 opponent OPS.

Teng's four-seam fastball ranges from 90-94 mph with riding action that keepsit off barrels up in the strike zone. There's not much consensus about which of his secondary pitches is the best. Some scouts point to his fading changeupwhile others prefer his slider, and he also utilizes a curveball.

None of Teng's offerings grades better than average, but he succeeds thanks to his tremendous feel for his craft. He has a knack for reading swings, allowing him to sequence his pitches well while throwing all four of them at strikes. Already hefty at 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, he'll have to maintain his conditioning to reach his ceiling as a back-of-the-rotation workhorse.
