Kyle Harrison entered spring training as the on paper favorite to win the fifth spot in the San Francisco Giants’ starting rotation. He still may very well be the favorite

Training has arrived for the San Francisco Giants, and  during this preseason ramp-up period as the organization gets ready to shape their roster.

Bryce Eldridge is clearly the top prospect in the San Francisco Giants organization, but the 20-year-old's first look at MLB spring training was brutal.

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.

“Pivetta, the newest addition to the Padres’ rotation, struck out four of the nine batters he faced in 2 2/3 hitless innings of the Padres’ 1-1 tie with the San Francisco Giants at Peoria Stadium,” Magruder wrote.

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.

The Giants announced their first wave of roster cuts on Wednesday morning, with first baseman Bryce Eldridge and outfielder Marco Luciano among the eight players who were sent over to the Minor League side.

Two of the San Francisco Giants’ biggest question marks this spring received an answer, maybe earlier than expected. Top prospect Bryce Eldridge was sent out to minor-league camp Wednesday along with onetime top prospect Marco Luciano.
