Giants general manager Bobby Evans specifically cited Hundley's power as one of the backup catcher's strengths when San Francisco signed him as a free agent in late January. Hundley hit 10 home runs in each of the previous two seasons with Colorado.
Another notable slugger was non-roster invitee Chris Marrero, who has a team-high six home runs (including the March 8 Puerto Rico exhibition). Marrero homered in the eighth for the Giants' final run. Marrero said that despite his power, a quality the Giants lack, he knows he must master the game's subtler facets, such as defense, to make the team.
