Bryce Eldridge Continues to Produce, a Must-Add Option Off the Waiver Wire
San Francisco Giants consensus top-30 MLB prospect Bryce Eldridge, who was called up on May 3, is dominating at the plate of late, slashing .455/.556/.955 with three home runs, eight RBI, and five runs scored over the past seven days (10-for-22). On the season, he is now hitting .317 with a .953 OPS with five home runs, 18 runs scored, and 14 RBI. Most impressively, his plate discipline has been rock-solid for Eldridge, as he has a 21.4 percent strikeout rate, 27.6 percent chase rate, and a 22.1 percent whiff rate. In Triple-A, Eldridge demonstrated his power, but had a 29.9 percent strikeout rate, and that was ultimately the biggest knock on Eldridge: the swing and miss. Considering he has improved on that, and when you look at his quality of contact, power, and prospect pedigree, Eldridge is a must-add player for fantasy baseball. The only downside for him is that, depending on your league format, he may only be DH eligible, but he has played five games at first base, so he is working his way to first base and corner infield eligibility. Eldridge has league-winning upside at the plate, so fantasy managers should act fast and invest in the young slugger.
