Others need more time but are already making a name for themselves in the lower reaches of the system. Here are three players that had great performances earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>Jhonny Level<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">No-doubt home run off the bat of Top 100 prospect Jhonny Level!<\/p>\n<p>The 19-year-old (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SFGiants?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@SFGiants<\/a>) is 11-for-21 (.524) with a 1.517 OPS to open the year for the Single-A <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SJGiants?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@SJGiants<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rnKhM8Onp7\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/rnKhM8Onp7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MLB Pipeline (@MLBPipeline) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLBPipeline\/status\/2042067394135314877?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6v\">Level is the Giants\u2019 No. 4 prospect according to MLB Pipeline and San Francisco signed him out of Venezuela for nearly $1 million in 2024. He&#8217;s part of a group of middle infield prospects that could be the future of the organization in the next three or four years. But right now, he&#8217;s playing at San Jose and he&#8217;s tearing up all the pitching he faces.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6y\">In his first five games he\u2019s slashed .522\/.560.\/.957 with a 1.517 OPS. That includes four doubles, two home runs and eight RBI. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"71\">One of those home runs came in action this week and was a no-doubt shot to right field for the left-handed hitter who could find himself at High-A Eugene if he keeps playing like this.<\/p>\n<p>Gavin Kilen<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Games Played &#8211; 5<br \/>RBI &#8211; 10<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m no math genius, but I think <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GavinKilen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@GavinKilen<\/a> is having a very good season<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RootedHere?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#RootedHere<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/geDZWTs76a\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/geDZWTs76a<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Eugene Emeralds (@EugeneEmeralds) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EugeneEmeralds\/status\/2042069811677774324?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7a\">Speaking of middle infielders, Kilen is on a tear of his own at High-A Eugene. He was San Francisco&#8217;s first-round pick last year and he&#8217;s the No. 5 prospect in the organization per MLB Pipeline. He was drafted out of college and is closer to a potential job with the Giants than Level. But he\u2019s no less talented. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7d\">Kilen got off to a hot start with the Emeralds last weekend and he&#8217;s carried that over into action this week. In his first five High-A games he drove in 10 runs. In those five games he slashed .500\/.542\/.950 with 1.492 OPS with three doubles, two home runs and 10 RBI. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7g\">He played only 10 games at San Jose last year before he joined Eugene. With consistent performances like this he could be at Double-A Richmond sometime this year. <\/p>\n<p>Bryce Eldridge<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8 BRYCE ELDRIDGE HOMER CLEARS THE BULLPENS \ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/k8baxwT0Mr\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/k8baxwT0Mr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sacramento River Cats (@RiverCats) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RiverCats\/status\/2042061986222034982?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7p\">Eldridge is the Giants\u2019 No. 1 prospect, and at some point in 2026 he&#8217;ll be back in San Francisco. It&#8217;s only a matter of time. Especially if he keeps hitting home runs the way he did earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7s\">In 11 games with Sacramento, he\u2019s slashed .268\/.434\/.415 with an .849 OPS along with three doubles, a home run and five RBI. Given how sluggishly San Francisco\u2019s offense has performed this season, he could be an eventual answer to those issues. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco Giants are out east for a three-city road trip but there are prospects are getting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":672561,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2408],"tags":[5,162,4,378,66,4343,4340,4344,4341,4342],"class_list":{"0":"post-672560","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-giants","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-giants","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-san-francisco","12":"tag-san-francisco-giants","13":"tag-sanfrancisco","14":"tag-sanfranciscogiants","15":"tag-sf","16":"tag-sf-giants","17":"tag-sfgiants"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116381224974529163","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=672560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672560\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/672561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=672560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=672560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=672560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
