SF Giants outfield prospect identified as sleeper pick to be on 2027 top-100 list

With a strong 2026 season, Dakota Jordan could be in the conversation for some top-100 prospect lists next year. Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline identified the SF Giants outfield prospect as his sleeper pick to be on their top-100 list in 2027.

The Giants only had two prospects make MLB Pipeline's top-100 preseason list. Bryce Eldridge came in at No. 25, followed by Josuar Gonzalez at No. 44.

Infield prospect Luis Hernández was likely not eligible for this ranking, as international prospects are often not considered in the rankings that immediately follow their signing. He did appear in the organization's top-30 ranking, coming in at No. 3.

Having only two prospects make the cut felt a little light, given the improvement the farm system has made over the past year. Many of the Giants' prospects are on the younger side, whereas MLB Pipeline likely favors production over tools and projection.

There are quite a few Giants prospects who could make their way onto one of these lists over the next year. Given that Hernández was the top player in this year's international free agency class, he has a chance to rise up these rankings based on pedigree alone.

Bo Davidson, Jhonny Level, and Gavin Kilen have appeared on some of these rankings. Baseball America had Davidson and Level, along with Eldridge and Gonzalez, in its latest top-100 list. Keith Law of The Athletic included Kilen in his ranking.

Argenis Cayama, Keyner Martinez, Luis De La Torre, and Jacob Bresnahan could all be candidates if they continue to progress this season.

On the other hand, Dakota Jordan put together a solid season in the California League. As Jim Callis notes, he nearly took home the Triple Crown in that league. Jordan was tied for the league lead with a .311 batting average and 14 home runs, but was one RBI behind Raudi Rodriguez of the Los Angeles Angels in that category.

The right-handed bat was viewed as having first-round potential in the 2024 draft, but slid due to signability concerns and questions about how his contact skills would translate to pro ball. He quelled some of these concerns by posting a 22.8 percent strikeout rate in 2025. This was a notable improvement from the 29.0 percent strikeout rate he tallied in his final college season.

Jordan has a lot of tools in his skill set, including above-average power. He also is a good runner, and made some nice strides in being more aggressive on the bases last season. He has the speed and arm to grow into a reliable center fielder down the road.
