The Giants promoted Luciano from Low-A San Jose to High-A Eugene on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The No. 1 prospect in the San Francisco organization and one of the top teenage hitters in the minor leagues, Luciano earned his way to Eugene after posting a .373 on-base percentage, 18 home runs and five stolen bases across 308 plate appearances at Low-A. He's unlikely to provide much impact as a base stealer as he rises through the Giants' system, and a move off shortstop could eventually be in the cards, but Luciano's combination of power and plate discipline will give him a chance at stardom once he reaches his prime.

Luciano (shoulder) rejoined the Low-A San Jose lineup Wednesday, starting at shortstop and going 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run in a 4-3 win over Inland Empire.

EDGE Analysis

Luciano missed only a few games due to a sore shoulder, and the fact that he was deployed in the field rather than at designated hitter in his return to action implies the Giants have no concerns about the injury affecting his throwing. One of the youngest players at Low-A, the 19-year-old infielder is holding his own against elder competition, slashing .286/.378/.565 with 17 home runs in 286 plate appearances on the season.

Luciano left Friday's game with Low-A San Jose due to minor shoulder discomfort, San Jose Giants broadcaster Joe Ritzo reports.

EDGE Analysis

The issue doesn't appear to be a particularly significant one, as Luciano is merely considered day-to-day. The 19-year-old shortstop has looked quite good in his first taste of full-season ball, homering 16 times in 64 games while slashing .287/.379/.557.

Luciano is hitting .266/.359/.547 with 14 home runs and a 27:48 BB:K across his first 53 games with Low-A San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Still just 19 years old, Luciano shot up the prospect rankings after an electric stateside debut in rookie ball in 2019, and despite last year's minor-league season having been lost to COVID-19, he's pretty much picked up right where he left off. He leads all of Low-A in homers, and a somewhat unlucky BABIP is largely to blame for his unremarkable batting average. There are only two knocks on Luciano from a fantasy perspective: that he's not widely expected to stick at shortstop and that he's still a couple years away from the big leagues. Considering the stats he appears capable of putting up once he reaches the majors, it'll be worth the wait.

Luciano received an invitation Friday to the Giants' big-league spring training camp.

EDGE Analysis

Luciano is a fantastic talent, displaying top-of-the-scale exit velocities, good plate discipline and the potential to stick at shortstop. He's unlikely to be seriously considered for an Opening Day roster spot, as he's just 19 years old and has played all of 47 professional games, none of which have come at the full-season level, but he'll get to work with the big-league coaching staff for a few weeks in hopes of joining them on a permanent basis as soon as 2022.

Luciano will be a part of the Giants' taxi squad this season, Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Luciano is the Giants' top prospect and one of the best prospects in baseball, he has yet to play at Low-A, let alone the majors. It is unclear how much major-league action he will get during the regular season, but it seems unlikely that he will play enough to be a factor in redraft leagues.

Luciano was promoted to short-season Salem-Keizer, Giants Prospects reports.

EDGE Analysis

The top prospect to sign on July 2, 2018, Luciano hit .322/.438/.616 with 10 home runs and eight steals in the AZL. He turns 18 in September and is one of the most exciting prospects in the minor leagues.

Luciano signed a $2.6 million deal with the Giants on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

According to both MLB.con and Baseball America, Luciano is a top-two 16-year-old prospect from this year's July 2 international signing class. Blessed with a prototypical 6-foot-2, 178-pound frame that oozes athleticism, the righty-hitting Luciano has explosive power that could end up being a 70-grade tool in time. While he is among the best hitters in this class, he has some swing-and-miss tendencies, but that should not be surprising given his age and size. A lot of evaluators expect him to settle in as an above-average hitter once he grows into his frame. He is an above-average runner right now, but that may not be a big part of his game when he is physically mature. Defensively, he may be sent out as a shortstop, but will likely outgrow that position at some point before he reaches the big leagues. Luciano's most likely landing spots are right field and third base, and his bat should profile anywhere.
