Fun facts:

1. Stanford's own Austin Slater has the highest MLB batting average (.431) and OBP (.463) for any player with 50+ ABs. He's also tied for second in DPs started by a centerfielder with two.
2. Stanford's own Tristan Beck is tied for the MLB lead in DPs by pitcher with three. Cobb is second with two (but Cobb is first in errors by pitchers with three).
3. Patrick Bailey is T5 for best percentage caught stealing (36.8%) in MLB.
4. DeSclafani is first in assists and has the best range factor of all MLB pitchers.
5. Estrada has the best range factor of all MLB second basemen.
6. Wade has the second best range factor of all MLB first basemen. He's also committed the most errors (5) as a 1B.
7. Haniger is T3 for errors in left field.
8. Giants are 7th most in MLB runs scored per game.
9. Giants are 11th fewest in MLB runs given up per game (but 8th in ERA).

Giants MLB WAR rank by position:

Designated Hitter, 3rd (0.4)
Pinch Hitters, 3rd (0.1)
First Base, 5th (1.2)
Second base, 9th (0.7)
Starting pitching, 10th (1.5)
Relief pitching, 11th (0.6)
Third base, 13th (0.2)
Right Field, 17th (-0.2)
Left Field, 18th (-0.2)
Center field, 18th (0.2)
Catcher, 22nd (0.2)
Shortstop, 24th (-0.3)

And just for fun...Mauricio Dubon is leading the Astros in Batting Average.

And the Giants also have the lowest Fielding % of all 30 MLB teams. Which makes their recent wining ways hard to understand. Grant Brisbee needs to investigate how the Giants' bad defense isn't leading to more runs being allowed. You'd think there'd be a larger discrepancy than just 3 spots between ER allowed to Runs allowed with the #30 fielding percentage which also comes with the most errors in MLB too. How does this translate to the #4 Run Differential in MLB?
