Brandon Belt made his debut with the San Francisco Giants on March 31st, 2011. He got a hit and a walk in a 2-1 loss at Dodger Stadium. He hit his first home run the next day in a 4-3 loss. He turned 23 a few weeks later. He was the full-time starting first baseman the next season, playing 145 games and slashing .275/.360/.421 good for 2.8 bWAR. The Giants won the World Series, if you remember. He had an even better year in 2013. Injuries limited him to 61 games in 2014 but he returned for the post-season and hit one of the most memorable homers in franchise history in the LDS against the Nationals, breaking a tie in the 18th inning.
Adios, BB
