Bryce Eldridge Is Doing Things Weve Never Seen at 21 [YeCl0Lo4G29]
San Francisco Giants rookie Bryce Eldridge is quietly putting together one of the most impressive debut stretches in recent MLB memory — and the guys at 95.7 The Game are starting to lose their minds over it. He only arrived a month and a half ago, missed all of April and part of May, and he's already leading all rookies in batting average and OPS. The numbers are not normal. The crew digs into just how special Eldridge's plate discipline is at 21 years old — something nobody saw coming. He came up with a strikeout label, and instead showed up to the big leagues with what might be the best eye in the game right now. His Statcast challenge record, zone command, and ability to punish every pitch type have the hosts comparing him to Juan Soto and Ronald Acuña Jr. in terms of maturity. Dave Fleming is already dreaming about calling 500 of his home runs. But there's a real question hanging over the whole thing — will NL Rookie of the Year voters actually see him? The Giants aren't exactly lighting up national highlight shows, and with guys like JJ Weatherholt (heavy favorite) and Sal Stewart ahead of him in the odds, Eldridge has ground to make up. The hosts break down the Fanduel and Kalshi betting lines and make a strong case that the current +850 price might be the last bargain left.
