The Giants have been treading carefully with Crawford, who is coming out of Tommy John surgery, but they believe the 6-foot-7, 223-pound Eldridge has the physical tools and athleticism to follow a similar path and may one day develop into a true two-way star like Angels sensation Shohei Ohtani. . \n \n”He reached out to me last night, and that was great,” Eldridge said of Crawford. It was one of the first messages I saw. I got his number. I’m looking forward to staying in touch with him, working with him, and kind of picking his brain a little bit on the whole two-way thing. I remember watching my home being recruited last year. Watching him do that last year was cool because it was something I was looking forward to doing, recruiting as a two-way player. I’ve known the name for a while, and now I’m buddies with him, and I’m on the team with him. I’m excited about that. “”, “type”: “text”}, {“__typename”: “Video”, “contentDate”: “2023-07-05T20:45:13.695Z”, “preferPlaybackScenarioURL ({ \”FavoritesPlaybacks\”: \ “mp4AvcPlayback \”}) “:” https://darkroom-clips.mlb.com/c4e47c78-d00e-4812-848d-e3da3e84f25d.mp4 “,” type “:” video “,” description “:” Bryce’s draft ratings Eldridge”,”displayAsVideoGif”:true,”duration”:”00:00:10″,”slug”:”bryce-eldridge-2023-Draft-grades”,”tags”:[{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”data-visualization”,”title”:”data visualization”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”PersonTag”,”slug”:”playerid-805811″,”title”:”Bryce Eldridge”,”person”:{“__ref”:”Person:805811″},”type”:”player”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”mlb-draft”,”title”:”MLB Draft”,”type”:”taxonomy”}]”,” Thumbnail”: {“__typename”: “Thumbnail”, “templateUrl”: “https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/{formatInstructions}/mlb/cme2g2n6ahks3l5hhtkl”}, “title : “Bryce Eldridge 2023 Draft Grades”,” dynamicSiteUrl”: “/video/bryce-eldridge-2023-Draft-grades”}, {“__typename”: “Markdown”, “content”: “The Giants have started tracking Eldridge for two years prior to that, when they made regular visits to James Madison High School to scout teammate, James Triantos, for the Cubs’ second round pick in 2021.
