SI: Carson Whisenhunt re-tooled, ready for big leagues

by | Mar 3, 2025

The San Francisco Giants have a strong farm system but not a lot of talent ready right now to play in the majors.

SI.com’s latest story on the Giants points out two players ready for the big leagues: first baseman Bryce Eldridge and ECU alum and left-hander Carson Whisenhunt.

Though his ERA was high last season, he did have 141 strikeouts in 109.2 innings over 27 starts.

“Since Whisenhunt’s ascension to the Triple-A level last season, the ERA numbers have started to rise as he has begun to face better hitting and countless future pros. This is nothing out of the ordinary in the Pacific League, however, and the team is encouraged by the 24-year-old’s ability to make hitters swing and miss to rack up strikeouts.”
