Will Brennan: 2-3, 2B, 2 RBI

Carson Whisenhunt recorded 3 scoreless innings with 5 strikeouts (5 whiffs) and 0 walks today. He needed that #SFGiants

Spring training stats are fun because Trevor McDonald has posted a ludicrously high 84.6 percent ground ball rate this spring, albeit in a tiny sample of just 6 innings.

...when the need arises during the year. Though, he is not making the decision any easier on what to do with him to start the year, and I think that is what you want to see with a young pitcher.

I think the Giants would be happy if Tyler Mahle, Adrian Houser, and Landen Roupp gave them 25 starts apiece. That said, it is unlikely to expect that, so they will need to fill the gaps. Trevor McDonald has positioned himself to be one of the 1st options...

Yeah, I don't really like that role for a young pitcher because the workload for a long reliever can be unpredictable. I think what is best is to get him stretched out as a starter, whether that is in the Triple-A or the majors.

Victor Bericoto: 1-2, 2B, RBI

Trevor McDonald: 3 IP, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 SO
Juan Sánchez. 1 IP, 0 ER

Luis Matos adds an insurance run for the #SFGiants with a home run to left field. He is out of minor league options, but is doing everything he can to make the club.

Yes.

Trevor McDonald is done for the day, and he is putting up a solid case to make the #SFGiants. Below are his numbers so far this spring:

6 IP
2 H
0 ER
1 BB
7 SO

Bryce Eldridge's triple had an exit velo of 109.2 MPH. That was followed by a double for Luis Matos, which had an exit velo of106.1 MPH.

The estimated combined distance traveled by those hits was about 890 feet.

#SFGiants spring training roundup (W 9-4)

Tyler Fitzgerald: 1-2, 2B, RBI
Will Brennan: 2-2
Jake Holton: 1-2, HR, 4 RBI
Bryce Eldridge: 1-2, 2B, 2 RBI

Keaton Winn: 1.1 IP, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 SO
Michael Fulmer: 1 IP, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 SO

Michael Fulmer now has 4 scoreless outings this spring. He’s making a strong case to make the club, and probably needs only 3-4 more quality appearances to solidify his case.

No idea!

Bryce Eldridge’s RBI double to score Bo Davidson had an exit velo of 113 MPH

Jake Holton blasts a grand slam to give the #SFGiants a 5-1 lead. He now is second on the club with 8 RBI, and has made the most of every at-bat this spring.

Grant McCray now leads the #SFGiants with 5 walks this spring. The at-bat quality has been much better this year, albeit in a tiny sample.

@MLBPipeline has updated its 2026 preseason top-30 prospects for the #SFGiants:

1. 1B Bryce Eldridge
2. MI Josuar Gonzalez
3. MI Luis Hernádez
4. MI Jhonny Level
5. MI Gavin Kilen
6. OF Dakota Jordan
7. OF Bo Davidson
8. P Jacob Bresnahan
9. OF Trevor Cohen
10. P Blade Tidwell

Charlie Szykowny, Dakota Jordan, and Gavin Kilen have all recorded RBI hits against their old team!

If moving Patrick Bailey to the No. 3 spot in the lineup was simply to boost his confidence to get him to think, feel, and act like a No. 3 hitter, that would be a hell of a 4-D chess move by Tony Vitello.

Of the 136 or so players with at least 15 at-bats this spring, Luis Matos is the only one who has not recorded a strikeout yet #SFGiants

Pretty cool assignment for Blade Tidwell. The Giants are going to start him against team USA in the exhibition on Tuesday. Logan Webb said he’ll be chirping at him from the visiting dugout.
