Bericoto has gone 3-for-20 with two home runs and 3:8 BB:K in 23 plate appearances over six games since being promoted from High-A Eugene to Double-A Richmond on July 4.
Bericoto received the call-up to Richmond two weeks ago after he slashed .295/.353/.531 with 30 extra-base hits and a 19.4 percent strikeout rate in 309 plate appearances for Eugene. The outfielder/first baseman largely struggled at the dish over his first three seasons of affiliated ball, but he's shown a more disciplined approach and has tapped into more power even while facing tougher competition in his age-21 campaign.

Giants' Victor Bericoto: Post-hype breakout at High-A
Rotowire
Bericoto has a .305/.360/.540 slash line with 13 home runs and a 17.6 percent strikeout rate in 60 games for High-A Eugene.
Bericoto made some noise with a strong showing as a 17-year-old in the Dominican Summer League in 2019, but injuries limited him in 2021 and he was roughly league average (97 wRC+) as a 20-year-old at Single-A last season, so this qualifies as a post-hype breakout. He has gone back and forth between first base and the outfield dating back to his first year in pro ball, and that remains the case, with starts sprinkled between right field, first base and left field.
