San Francisco Giants: How to Quantify Success in Spring Training

The San Francisco Giants have hit a lot of home-runs in Spring Training this year, 25 to be exact. That leads all of MLB for Spring Training. They also have the second highest batting average, 10 points lower than the Kansas City Royals. But outside of home runs, they are first in the following offensive categories: Slugging, OPS, Hits, and Runs.

We’ll see if this can actually carry over to the regular season, but the early returns on the Giants’ offense have been good in spring. But how should we value it? Unfortunately, for your sake, there isn’t a short answer to this.
