To date, which Giants’ batter has the most plate appearances against him?
Given his career timing, I would guess Brandon Crawford.
I looked it up (it's not Crawford). My first instinct, and I didn't go with it.
All of these batters have career OPS of 3.000 or better against Kershaw: Shawn Estes
All of these batters have career OPS of 2.000 or better against Kershaw: Mauricio Dubon
All of these batters have career OPS of 1.000 or better against Kershaw: Brandon Hicks, Jerar Encarnacion, Pedro Feliz, Chris Stewart, Luis Matos, Kevin Pillar, Cody Ransom, Charlie Culberson, Tyler Fitzgerald, Joc Pederson and Tony Gwynn. And Gary Matthews (son of SFGiant Gary Matthews)
Between .900 and 1.000 OPS vs. Kershaw: Pat Burrell, Bengie Molena, Nate Schierholtz, Austin Slater, Donovan Solano, Mark Canha and Juan Uribe.
A clue (should be the giveaway): He has three rings…
Gotta be Posey...
Indeed.
120 PA, .221 BA, 3 HR, 10 RBI.
