A few weeks ago I began looking back at the bumper crop of rookies who have graduated from list eligibility this season. Let’s circle back and look at the matriculated prospects from the next 25 spots of this year’s Top 101.

33. Bryce Eldridge, 1B/DH, San Francisco Giants
While isn’t easy to find bright spots from the 2026 San Francisco Giants season, one thing you can definitely say about the 6-foot-7 Eldridge is that he’s going to be hard to miss. He didn’t get onto the major-league roster until May, and when handed intermittent playing time at first, he struggled. However, by the end of the month he was one of the Giants’ better hitters, and ended up one of their few healthy ones by September. All told, he’s been more or less as advertised. Lots of extra base hits, a smidge too much swing and miss, and not a ton of defensive value. Eldridge was actually a bit better against lefties than righties this season, but that is almost all BABIP-driven, and he struggled badly against same side offspeed. Given Eldridge’s lack of positional/defensive value and merely plus power, this ranking feels a little hefty in hindsight. Still, you are never going to turn down a 30% better-than-league-average hitter for your lineup, and Eldridge looks like he should be able to sustain that for a while.
