Bryce Eldridge a Prospect With Second-Half Breakout Potential
San Francisco Giants rookie first baseman Bryce Eldridge has some of the most power upside of any young left-handed hitter in the game. And in his first 39 games this year after being called up from Triple-A Sacramento, Eldridge has gone 37-for-133 (.278) with six home runs, nine doubles, 16 RBI, and 21 runs scored across 156 plate appearances. The 21-year-old former 16th overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft has come on even stronger in June, too, going 23-for-75 (.307) with four long balls, three doubles, 12 RBI, and 13 runs scored in 21 games and 89 plate appearances for the Gigantes. Eldridge is the Giants' first baseman of the future, and the future is approaching fast. The struggling Giants will most certainly be sellers at the August trade deadline, and current first baseman Rafael Devers may be sent away. Even if Devers sticks around because of his massive contract, Eldridge will play regularly against right-handers as the designated hitter, and he has second-half breakout potential. Fantasy managers targeting power production need to look his way. Eldridge is rostered in 41% of Yahoo leagues right now.
