The SF Giants called up their top prospect Bryce Eldridge after Dominic Smith got injured and he has gotten off to a slow start thus far. However, there is reason for optimism even though his batting average is not very high.
Eldridge may have just one hit in 18 at-bats which is easy to overreact to, but that does not tell the full story. He has five walks and has shown a very keen eye at the plate at times, laying off breaking balls and off-speed pitches below the zone.
SF Giants should remain optimistic on Bryce Eldridge despite slow start
He has also hit some balls that would have been home runs in other ballparks.
