Yes, we all know the Giants can’t hit and don’t hit the ball very hard when they do. Thanks to MLB’s Statcast data, we can see just exactly how weak the entire Giants’ lineup was this past season. What’s the point in knowing the numbers behind what our ears (seriously, the Giants’ contact sounded extremely weak) and eyes told us for six months? Masochism!
According to Statcast, there were 14 Giants with 100 or more Batted Ball Events (BBE). I’m cheating a little bit here by including Steven Duggar on this list, because he actually only had 98 BBE, but I wanted to include him because he’s close enough and I wanted to get as large a sample as possible just to see how the team overall fared.
