The MLB offseason is good and fully underway, and we’re gaining a lot of momentum with the 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List. There have been fantastic discussions and lots of comments as we’ve started to rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization … and we still have 40 names to place!
Monday’s baseball election was, like Tuesday’s local political election, fairly lopsided, as outfielder Bo Davidson took home the victory with ease. And with that, Davidson has been voted as the No. 4 prospect in the system, which is a rise of seven spots over his debut at No. 11 in last year’s CPL.
For Davidson, 2025 was a second straight season of being one of the farm’s top performers. The left-handed hitter, who went undrafted in 2023, began the year with High-A Eugene, where he formed a star-studded outfield quartet with James Tibbs III, Jonah Cox, and Scott Bandura, and emerged as the top performer. In 72 games with the Emeralds, Davidson hit .309/.412/.507 for a .919 OPS and a 152 wRC+, while bashing 10 home runs in 335 plate appearances and stealing 12 bases. Despite the presence of Cox, a tremendous defensive prospect in the middle of the grass, Davidson was tasked with playing center field on a daily basis.
His performance earned him a promotion to AA Richmond, where he took a while adjusting before finding his groove. When the season ended, Davidson had played 34 games for the Flying Squirrels, and hit .234/.312/.401 for a .713 OPS and a 110 wRC+, with eight home runs in 187 plate appearances and seven stolen bases.
The overall numbers don’t do justice to how good of a prospect Davidson has become, as the 23-year old populated Baseball America’s season-ending top 100 list, as the third-best Giants prospect, just a few spots behind phenom Josuar González. He has virtually every tool in the bag, despite being remarkably new to advanced baseball — he’s played fewer than 200 games in the pros, after being a Junior College bat who never faced NCAA pitching. He’s one of the best athletes in the system, has serious power, shows very strong control of the strike zone (13.0% walk rate and 22.8% strikeout rate across the two levels this year), and has good speed and a strong arm. He seems likely to move to a corner at some point, but the Giants are still prioritizing his development in center.
And with that, Davidson has become the rare player who is one of the team’s best prospects and one of their best stories. What more could you ask for? I suppose the answer to that is merely a continuation of what has been … and 2026 could offer an exceptional next chapter in Davidson’s story. He’ll almost surely begin the year back in AA, but with a strong start to the season he could be in AAA early in the year, which would put a 2026 MLB debut not out of the equation.
Now let’s add to our list, and we have some new names to vote on today!
