SAN FRANCISCO -- Logan Webb and Heliot Ramos won’t be the only players representing the Giants during All-Star week in Arlington, Texas.

Bryce Eldridge, the Giants’ 2023 first-round Draft pick and No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, earned a spot on the National League’s All-Star Futures Game roster after making a quick rise to High-A Eugene in his first full season in pro ball. The 6-foot-7 first baseman will be one of the most exciting young power hitters to watch in the annual prospect showcase, which will be broadcast live from Globe Life Field today at 1 p.m. PT on MLB Network, MLB.TV, MLB.com and on the MLB App.

The Giants drafted the 19-year-old Eldridge as a two-way player after taking him with the 16th overall pick out of Madison High School in Vienna, Va., last year, but they decided to have him focus exclusively on hitting this season. The move seems to have worked out well for Eldridge, who hit .263 with an .801 OPS and 10 home runs over 51 games with Single-A San Jose before earning a promotion to High-A Eugene on June 27.

Eldridge is now one of the youngest players in the Northwest League, where he’s batting .325 (13-for-40) with a .928 OPS and one homer over his first 12 games with the Emeralds.

"It's been exciting,” president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said. "There's been a lot of adjustments for him coming into pro ball. Being a position player full-time, playing first base full-time, which he hasn’t done. He's been pretty consistent offensively, which was really good to see. He earned his promotion and continues to hit well. As we track his exit velocities and some of the underlying numbers, we think there's even more offensive output in there.

“He's a guy we're really, really excited about. To be in High-A ball as a teenager his first year is a pretty good accomplishment. I think it's just going to continue to get better and better.”

Despite his towering frame, Eldridge possesses a quick, compact left-handed swing that has allowed him to consistently tap into his raw power in the Minors this year. He got some looks in right field after making his professional debut last summer, but the Giants decided to keep him at first base to help accelerate his development as a hitter this year.

"I like to have high expectations for myself,” Eldridge said when asked to outline his goals in March. “I just want to keep up the home runs per at-bats. That’s what my game is going to be, hitting the ball out of the park. So consistently doing that throughout the year, trying not to have any spots where I go on streaks of not hitting any. I’m trying to stay as consistent as I can. Keep swinging at balls in the zone and keep dominating the zone. And just improving my defense at first. I take pride in my defense. I know you’re not just going to make it to the big leagues as a hitter, so [I'm focused on] really being stout over there and strong and holding down first base."

So far, so good.
