Eldridge played high school baseball at James Madison High School in Vienna, Virginia. In 2021, he was named Virginia’s Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year. He led his team to the 2021 VHSL Class 6 State Championship game.
Even though he had an ankle injury during his senior season, the big prospect still hit .410 with 7 home runs, 22 RBI, an on-base percentage of .587, and he only struck out five times. As a pitcher, Eldridge had a .083 ERA with 55 strikeouts in 33.2 innings sporting a 7-0 record. He was a better hitter, which got him drafted.
After the MLB Draft, Eldridge played for two teams to close out the season. He started in Rookie Ball and ended up with the San Jose Giants in A-Ball. His combined numbers were 5 doubles, 6 home runs, 18 RBI with one steal, a .294 batting average, and a .505 slugging percentage.
2024 was a busy year of development. Eldridge played in four leagues starting in A-Ball and finishing out the season in AAA playing for the Sacramento River Cats. His combined numbers were 27 doubles, 2 triples, 23 home runs 92 RBI with 6 stolen bases. Add a .292 batting average, a.374 on-base percentage with a stellar .516 slugging percentage. It’s worth noting that positionally at first base, his error rate was a bit high. He’s still learning the position.
