San Francisco was predicted to finish below the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres in the NL West, but the Giants exceeded expectations throughout the year.
Kapler, in just his second season with San Francisco, guided the Giants to a franchise-record 107 wins in 2021 en route to their first NL West title since 2012.
