The Giants have been waiting over a decade for their next franchise-altering position player, but they finally could be close. First baseman Bryce Eldridge will spend the rest of his first full professional season in Triple-A, a remarkable rise for a power hitter who doesn't turn 20 until Oct. 20 and was drafted in July of 2023.
As his stint there has gone on -- it has been short -- but we've had a lot of people in there talking about how he really has been the best guy on the field, and the at-bat quality has been phenomenal,' president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said Saturday.
I know the [stat] line doesn't jump off the page, but even his outs are 100-mph hard-hit balls, and as much as anything, we just want him to keep playing. He's in a really good groove, we think he's getting better every day.
Eldridge had a .320 on-base percentage and notched a homer, triple and two doubles in 40 plate appearances in Double-A.
