Eldridge, 20, made a notable first impression during his first big league spring training, hitting a 450-foot home run in the Giants’ Cactus League opener against the Texas Rangers. Despite that impressive swing, Eldridge went 2-for-11 with eight strikeouts during the few plate appearances he received.

For the San Francisco Giants, Bryce Eldridge is the future at first base. The 2023 first-round pick is participating in his first Major League spring training.

For the first time since their 2014 World Series win, the San Francisco Giants may finally have a clear path forward. Hiring team legend Buster Posey as their president of baseball operations may have been their biggest addition of the offseason.
