‘Never know’: SF Giants’ Eldridge starts shagging outfield fly balls but focus remains at first base

SCOTTSDALE — Bryce Eldridge used two different gloves on the backfield at Scottsdale Stadium on Tuesday morning. One belonged to him; the other belonged to Jung Hoo Lee.

Eldridge dedicated the early part of his morning to working on infield defense, beaming with joy as he described his first fielding session with infield coach Ron Washington. Then, as the first position player groups took batting practice, Eldridge grabbed Lee’s glove and headed out to left field to shag fly balls alongside outfielder Drew Gilbert.
