1. 1B Bryce Eldridge | 20 | AAA | 2026
Right here’s what I stated on August 28 in Prospect Information: Bryce Eldridge Brings The Horror:
“Giants 1B Bryce Eldridge (19, A+) is making a push for consensus High 25 prospect standing heading into the low season. In 42 Excessive-A video games, he’s slashing .307/.421/.503 with seven residence runs and three steals. His 16.3 % stroll price and 24.7 % strikeout price are extremely thrilling numbers for a 6’7” high-school draftee with 80-grade energy.”
The massive lefty then spent September break up between Double and Triple-A, spending 9 video games with Richmond after which the ultimate eight with Sacramento. Powerful to say the place he’ll open 2025, however he may wind up within the majors by season’s finish.
2. OF James Tibbs III | 22 | A+ | 2026
Right here’s what I wrote about Tibbs III in Prospect Information: Dynasty Rankings For First-Yr-Participant Drafts:
“Tibbs slashed .363/.488/.777 with 28 residence runs and eight steals in his junior yr, a continuation of his profession outcomes at FSU. A left-handed hitter at 6’0” 201 lbs, Tibbs encompasses a strong plus hit/energy mixture that ought to assist him climb the minors in a rush.”
I’m unsure why I didn’t give him the III. I’m combating Jr. these days, too, I feel. Anyhow, Tibbs the third smashed Low-A in 9 video games, however the thirteenth total choose struggled at Excessive-A Eugene. 17 video games on the finish of a protracted season don’t matter a lot to me, but it surely would possibly create a bit of window for any true believers within the third James Tibbs.
3. OF Bo Davidson | 22 | A | 2027
Davidson went undrafted after his sophomore season at Caldwell Group School however later signed with the Giants as a free agent. He’s top-of-the-line scouting and growth wins this group has had on the minor league stage within the current previous, completely dominating the Low-A stage in 2024 with 9 residence runs, seven triples, and a slash line of .328/.438/.608. A left-handed hitter at 6’1” 205 lbs, Davidson has plus instruments throughout the board and might be one of many quickest risers of the 2025 season if my learn on this example is correct.
4. OF Rayner Arias | 18 | CPX | 2028
Arias has struggled by way of wrist accidents as a professional, from breaks to sprains to re-sprains, however he’s been good when wholesome. An influence bat at 6’2” 185 lbs from the fitting facet, Arias signed for $2.7 million within the 2023 class and slashed .414/.539/.793 in 16 DSL video games that season. He performed simply 25 video games this season on the complicated however posted a .371 on base proportion though he by no means actually received in rhythm.
5. SS Marco Luciano | 23 | MLB | 2023
No one:
Charlie Brown: “Lucy! Ahhh! No!”
And like Charlie Brown, dynasty gamers who believed in Luciano have had the soccer pulled the final couple seasons, however Buster Posey is taking the helm in San Francisco this yr and says Luciano may transfer to the outfield. In 83 Triple-A video games, he slashed a symmetrical .250/.380/.380 with 10 residence runs and 4 stolen bases. It’s not what you need, however he made extra constant contact than he had the yr earlier than and retains the facility upside that made him a Named Man as a teen.
6. OF Dakota Jordan | 21 | A | 2027
A fantastic athlete who signed with Mississippi State to play each baseball and soccer, Jordan centered as an alternative on the diamond and blasted 20 residence runs in 63 video games as a sophomore, slashing .354/.459/.671 within the SEC. He solely received into two video games with the Low-A Giants, so we’ve received nothing on the professional report, however Jordan signed for nearly two million bucks, means over slot for a fourth-round choose. The Giants didn’t have a second or third, so they’d some cash to spend and used it to purchase Jordan out of his junior season at Mississippi State.
7. LHP Reggie Crawford | 24 | AAA | 2026
Crawford has glorious stuff in his high-90’s heater and plus slider, however he hasn’t stayed wholesome because the Giants chosen him thirtieth total in 2022. He dealt with simply 18.1 innings this season and had shoulder surgical procedure to restore his left lat in September. I’ve 2026 listed right here, however I think we’ll see him on the highest stage in 2025 if he’s wholesome. Simply gained’t be for lengthy as he hasn’t constructed as much as any form of workload.
8. SS Walker Martin | 21 | A | 2028
The 52nd total choose in 2023, Martin received a first-round grade from a number of sources and signed for nearly three million {dollars}, nicely over slot worth for the choose. A left handed hitter at 6’2” 188 lbs, Martin slashed .218/.391/.362 in 69 video games between the complicated league (44 g) and Low-A San Jose (25 g). He struck out rather a lot: 128 occasions to be actual, however he performed highschool ball in Colorado as a multi-sport athlete, so the idea goes he’s received a bit of extra upside than his same-age friends.
9. SS Jhonny Stage | 18 | DSL | 2029
Stage signed for $997,500 on Jan 16, 2024 and shortly impressed, slashing .275/.393/.517 with 10 residence runs and 18 stolen bases in 48 DSL video games. A switch-hitter listed at 5’10” 154 lbs, Stage is a gifted defender with quick-but-fluid actions on the six and a simple plus throwing arm.
10. RHP Mason Black | 25 | MLB | 2024
The 6’3” 230 lb Black depends primarily on his fastball/slider mixture, however he could make that work when he’s recognizing his pitches as a result of his stuff performs nicely inside and outside, up and down. Nonetheless would possibly want a changeup if he’s going to be one thing greater than a swingman on the main league stage. He posted a 1.68 WHIP and 6.44 ERA in 36.1 MLB innings in 2024.
Thanks for studying!
