Glossary:
FFG = Future Fantasy Grade - essentially, what is the likely long-term outcome for the prospect? This is always going to be more conservative. Handing out ace tags is not something I like to do. So, this is a realistic outcome.
90th Peak = If the player hits their best-case outcome, what does it look like?
Variance = How risky is this player’s profile, and how likely are they to hit their likely outcome? Low variance is good; high means more risky.

San Francisco Giants Top Prospects To Know
Top Overall Prospect
1. Bryce Eldridge, 1B, 20, 6’7”/223, AAA
Few prospects had the meteoric rise that Eldridge made in 2024. The talent level has been long known since he was selected 16th overall in the 2023 MLB Draft. Selected as a two-way prospect, Eldridge gave up pitching immediately and then shifted from outfield solely to first base in 2024.
Moving from Single-A to Triple-A by season's end, Eldridge even went to the Arizona Fall League, where he dominated for ten more games. Between all stops, he mashed 23 home runs and added 27 doubles and two triples. The slash of .292/.374/.516 stands out for a 19-year-old, and Eldridge only made improvements all year.
As you can see, a pretty dreadful start to the season was pretty good. While the contact rates were still closer to average in the good months, those numbers will play for a power hitter like Eldridge. Considering the long levers and larger zone, ending the year with a contact rate of around 70 percent is quite solid.
There is no denying the kind of power Eldridge brings to the table, as his 90th percentile exit velocity near 107 mph is a high-end mark for a 19-year-old. Not only does he hit the ball hard, but Eldridge also puts batted balls at ideal angles. His air percentage north of 60 percent stands out, and the fact he can get to the pull side helps.
Eldridge is aggressive on pitches in the zone, having a mark near 85 percent, but also shows better than average chase rates around 26 percent. While the zone-contact rate does not stand out, they have been average.
The swing is relatively smooth, and the power comes naturally. Eldridge uses a toe-tap on all counts and starts with his hands high pre-swing before dropping them down into a slot to begin his swing. The bat's speed is electric, and Eldridge has strong wrists to help generate power. Considering how long his arms are, the swing is relatively short, and he has a direct path to the ball.
Eldridge has risen to the top of first-base prospects thanks to the impressive performance and underlying data. This looks like a future 30-home-run bat who hits for a good average.

San Francisco Giants Sleeper Prospect
8. Trent Harris, RHP, 26, 6’2”/200, AA
Being a bit older and having five years of college experience, Harris was undrafted in the 2023 draft but signed for $10k with the Giants after the draft. He immediately dominated in his 21 pro innings in 2023, catching the eyes of some. This carried over to 2024 as Harris moved from Single-A to Double-A, tossing 79.2 innings with a 1.81 ERA with 105 strikeouts.
With a fastball in the mid-90s, Harris touches 97 mph with strong carry. He comes in with an over-the-top delivery, and the pitch explodes at the top of the zone. It also features some solid arm-side movement.
He spins his breaking balls exceptionally well, having the slider sit in the 82-85 mph range, and the curveball dialed back to 79-81 mph. The curveball is a hammer of an offering, varying in a 12-6 and an 11-5 shape, and Harris is comfortable dropping it at the top of the zone and burying it down. The slider has good depth and more of a two-plane break.
Harris does have a changeup, sitting in the low-80s, but it is not used often. It shows good fading action when he does throw it against lefties, but Harris is primarily a three-pitch arm.
Being a former two-way player, Harris is an impressive athlete and mover on the mound. He creates tricky angles for hitters due to his release point, and he hides the ball well. Pitching in mostly multi-inning roles, Harris averaged just over two innings per outing as he pitched a career-high in innings. He showed the ability to throw four innings, though, and could be pushed to a starter role in 2025.
A heavy strike thrower, Harris posted a strike rate near 67 percent and had a highly impressive 34.5 percent CSW. Even if Harris winds up in the bullpen, he could be a threat, but I would love to see what he could do in a starter role, throwing five innings a start.

Giants 2025 Breakout Prospect
4. Jhonny Level, SS, 17, 5’10”/154, DSL
Level signed in January 2024 as one of the younger players in the class, not turning 17 until the tail end of March. He is a bit undersized, but as he is just 17, a lot can happen with his body over the next few years. Level received a bonus just shy of $1 million.
After a slow first month to the season, Level exploded over this final 34 games, hitting nine home runs and having 20 extra-base hits. Across those 155 plate appearances, Level slashed a strong .326/.432/.628 with nearly as many walks as strikeouts. This raised the season-long DSL line to .275/.393/.517.
The underlying data on Level was strong as well. The power showed up in a big way, and his 100 mph 90th percentile exit velocity was highly impressive for his age and frame. Level rarely missed on swings in the zone, posting contact rates in the plus or better range. He also showed good plate discipline, shown by his 14 percent walk rate and chase rate in the low 20 percent range.
The athleticism is there and Level is a true power and speed threat. He is someone to watch closely as he comes stateside.
