Bryce Eldridge

20-Year-Old First Baseman1B
San Francisco Giants AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Eldridge got better as the year went on, even as he faced more advanced competition. A former two-way prospect who now projects as the Giants' first baseman of the future, Eldridge hit 10 homers with a 26.6 percent strikeout rate and a .263 average in 51 games at Single-A before getting promoted to High-A in late June. He hit .335 (.404 BABIP) with 12 homers and a 24.2 percent strikeout rate in 48 games at High-A, where pitchers started to pay him more respect, as he more than doubled his walk rate from 7.4 percent at Single-A to 16.3 percent at High-A. He was promoted to Double-A in early September and to Triple-A after the Double-A season wrapped in mid-September, but just because he climbed to the highest level of the minors doesn't mean he'll return there at the beginning of 2025. Eldridge turned 20 in October and should head to Double-A to start the year. Despite a 6-foot-7 frame, Eldridge made an acceptable amount of contact (over 70 percent until he got to Triple-A) for a very young slugger with at least 70-grade raw power. The lefty-hitting Eldridge logged just a .588 OPS with a 29.6 percent strikeout rate in 125 plate appearances against same-handed pitchers, but he's enough of a prized prospect (No. 16 overall pick in 2023) that he won't be platooned long term unless he doesn't make any improvements.

February 7, 2025
The Giants have extended Eldridge an invitation to big-league camp during spring training, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
The Giants' top prospect, Eldridge stormed through four levels in the minors in 2024 in his first full professional season, slashing .292/.374/.516 with 23 home runs. Eldridge is only 20, but the first baseman could push to make his major-league debut at some point during the 2025 season.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could debut in 2025
1BSan Francisco Giants  AAA
November 10, 2024
According to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Giants have some optimism that Eldridge will make his MLB debut in 2025 and quickly entrench himself at first base.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 first-round pick is the organization's top prospect and ascended from the Single-A level to Triple-A during the 2024 campaign. Eldridge split most of the season between Single-A and High-A, and he had an .890 OPS with 23 homers and six steals in 116 games across all levels. He seems unlikely to crack the Opening Day roster given his lack of experience in the upper minors, but his MLB debut could come sooner than later with a strong showing in spring training.
