The Giants’ farm system has been giving the organization plenty to feel good about, and Arizona Fall League play is offering another look at that next wave. San Francisco sent eight players to the Fall League - three hitters and five pitchers - with Randy Rodriguez the lone player in the group who has MLB experience. Rodriguez also missed all of 2026 while recovering from injury.
Among the Giants’ offensive prospects in Arizona, the slowest start has come from the highest-ranked name on the list. Dakota Jordan, San Francisco’s seventh-ranked prospect, has not produced the kind of opening stretch he probably wanted.
Through six games, the former fourth-round pick in the 2024 MLB Draft is hitting .174 with one home run, six RBIs, four walks and 10 strikeouts. His .625 OPS is 49th on the Scottsdale Scorpions roster, and outside of the homer, every hit he has collected has been a single.
Jordan’s Fall League line stands in contrast to the season he just put together. He climbed from Single-A to Double-A in one year and finished 2026 with 19 home runs across both levels. At 23, he also posted a .283 average overall, including .290 at Single-A and .253 at Double-A.
Even with the rough opening in Arizona, Jordan is getting the kind of run that can help him keep moving forward. More starts should give him chances to settle in, and one way for him to make noise when he does reach base is by turning those singles into stolen bases.
While Jordan has been searching for a rhythm, Kaeden Kent has been rolling. The son of Hall of Famer Jeff Kent has opened the Fall League by hitting .375 with six hits, one walk and two strikeouts. Those two remain names to watch as the Fall League moves along.

Giants Fans Are Remembering A Beloved Piece Of A Memorable Era
Todd Benzingers passing at 63 has brought back a wave of memories for Giants fans who followed the club through the early-to-mid 1990s, when he was part of a roster that helped shape that era.

The Giants responded to the news with a statement mourning Benzinger and reflecting on what he meant to the organization. For a generation of fans, his name is tied to a memorable chapter in team history, and his death is another reminder of how quickly those familiar figures from a different era become part of the franchises memory.

Why The Giants Still Bet Big On Willy Adames
Willy Adames arrived in San Francisco as the kind of splash signing that was supposed to anchor the Giants for years, but the early returns have been uneven at best. His offensive and defensive struggles have already become part of the conversation around the club, yet the front offices view of him clearly went well beyond what shows up on a stat sheet.
Adames has built a reputation as a strong clubhouse presence, and that seemed to matter as much as anything when the Giants committed to him on a seven-year deal. His loyalty to former teammates has stood out, too, including his outreach to Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash about Freddy Peralta, a reminder that the Giants are betting on the person as much as the player while they wait for the rest to come around.

Giants Prospect Dakota Jordan Is Suddenly Facing A Real Test
Dakota Jordan arrived in the Arizona Fall League with plenty of attention, and not just because MLB Pipeline had him ranked as the Giants top outfield prospect. His track record in the minors suggested a player trending up, but the fall schedule has been a tougher proving ground, with his line dipping to .208/.333/.313 and only one home run and eight RBIs to show for it. Even so, the Giants have reason to keep watching closely, because the tools that made him a notable prospect are still there, including the speed that has helped him stand out on the bases.
What makes this stretch worth monitoring is less the raw numbers than what they say about the next step in his development. The article digs into his workload, his strikeout-to-walk ratio, and how much this kind of slump should matter when the organization is trying to gauge his major league timeline. For a player who entered the fall with a stronger resume behind him, this is the kind of test that can clarify both the rough edges and the path ahead. [Read more 🡒]
