Your 2026 Giants: Bryce Eldridge

The Giants top prospect made the majors in 2025, giving a glimpse into his potential, as well as the things he needs to work on.

Your 2020 Giants: Top 100 Prospects Lists

Many of the major Top 100 Prospects analysts have put out their rankings and I thought I would use this as an opportunity to post the rankings and talk about my thoughts about the Giants prospects ranked.

The rankings I'm utilizing are:

• Baseball America (subscription)
• MLB Pipeline
• Baseball Prospectus
• Fangraphs:  Eric Longenhagen
• ZiPS:  Dan Szymborski
• The Athletic:  Keith Law (subscription)
• The Athletic:  John Sickels (subscription)
• ESPN:  Kiley McDaniels

And not being ranked does not mean that there aren't other potentially good players in the farm system, these rankings are not the final word.  For example, Pablo Sandoval wasn't even ranked on the Giants Top 30, let alone Top 100 the season he reached the majors, and Brandon Crawford never made any Top 100 lists either.

On the other hand, being ranked isn't an automatic ticket for MLB stardom either:  Gary Brown was ranked #18 by Baseball Prospectus and #38 by Baseball America after the 2011 season.  Or how about Jesse Foppert, #5 overall per Baseball America after the 2003 season?  And Angel Villalona was ranked in the Top 100 three seasons in a row, hitting a peak of 33 (BA) and 29 (BP) for the 2008 season.

This is probably going to be in lieu of my usual Big Six prospect post I've been doing in the spring most seasons.  I'm not really up for a big research project, though maybe I'll just post a list and quick thoughts on some, sometime near Opening Day, if I feel up for it (sorry, just down right now, wife's aunt passed a couple of weeks ago, then lost out on a job that I thought I was very qualified for and was even told that coming in person interview would be the next step, before I got the decline e-mail 10 days later. Then I just got rear-ended the other day... and my insurance company hasn't bothered to call me, except once, since, it's basically two weeks since...).
