Can finally say Bryce Eldridge has done some slugging in Sactown! The @SFGiants top prospect clobbers his first homer since his return for the @RiverCats ☄️
Level is fucking good. 104.5 mph off the bat, 362 feet estimated distance. Just screamed off the bat, also worked hard in that at-bat.
Rafael Devers says he prefers playing in the field over DH: “It keeps me active. It keeps my head out of just thinking about the next at-bat...I’d rather be on the field than in the cage hitting all the time and thinking about the next at-bat.”
Hey, is that good?
Landen Roupp has been lights out over the last month 🤯
Top #SFGiants performers in today's 9-0 win against the Braves Rafael Devers: 2-5, 2B, RBI Willy Adames: 1-2, RBI, 3 BB Matt Chapman: 2-5, 3B, RBI Wilmer Flores: 1-3, HR, 4 RBI Casey Schmitt: 1-4, HR, RBI Patrick Bailey: 2-4, 2B Landen Roupp: 5 IP, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO, W
My new baseball rule that they won’t pick up is if the home team resorts to using a position player to pitch, then everyone in attendance gets a free beer.
Tuesday #SFGiants transactions: SS Maui Ahuna up to High-A SS Jose Ramos from High-A to Low-A RHP Tyler Vogel and Austin Strickland go from High-A to AAA 17th round draft pick RHP Luke Mensik already assigned to the ACL!
Now, he has 4 RBI this month, giving him 59 RBI on the year. 100 RBI just might be back on the table!
On-pace stats are fun because remember when Wilmer Flores was on pace for 100 RBI? He was almost certainly never going to get there, but he also has zero RBI this month.
Maui Ahuna is moving up to Eugene. He was a 2023 4th-round pick, slowed by injuries. Ahuna had an .802 OPS with 3 home runs and 21 RBI in 168 plate appearances with the San Jose Giants this season.
Giants Top Prospects List! Bryce Eldridge stands out as the lone top 100 talent, but some up-and-coming prospects in the lower levels could soon change that. Our @AramLeighton8 details their top prospects: justbaseball.com/prospects/san-…
