Bryce Eldridge

Arguably the most intriguing two-way player from the prep ranks since Masyn Winn in 2020, Eldridge is a left-handed slugger/right-handed pitcher whom the Giants selected with the 16th overall pick in a loaded draft class. Like Winn, Eldridge figures to scrap pitching shortly after entering pro ball. Given his massive frame (6-foot-7, 223 pounds) as a teenager, Eldridge will likely outgrow right field and end up at first base/designated hitter. He slashed .294/.400/.505 with six home runs, a 26.2 percent strikeout rate and a 15.4 percent walk rate in 31 games across the Arizona Complex League and Single-A. Eldridge could end up with 70-grade power if he can keep the strikeouts in a manageable range. It's a pretty clear three-true outcomes profile if everything works, as it would be unrealistic to expect such a massive, young slugger to not have some holes in his swing for big-league pitchers to eventually exploit.
