Madison Bumgarner was a legend in San Francisco, and spent 13 consecutive seasons with the organization, after the drafted him in the first round (#10 overall) of the 2007 draft. He won three World Series rings with the team. These were in no small part due to Bumgarner’s 0.25 ERA in five World Series starts, allowing one earned run over 36 innings. His 2014 post-season run was the stuff of legend, throwing two complete games in six starts, and winning MVP honors in both the Championship and World Series. It culminated in a 15-out shutout save in Game 7, three days after tossing 117 pitches in a complete Game 5 shutout.
