2020 Giants season preview: First baseman Brandon Belt

Despite the feelings of a large contingent of the San Francisco Giants fanbase, Brandon Belt is still the team's starting first baseman heading into 2020.

Can he bounce back from a rough 2019 season?

The conventional wisdom regarding Belt has long been that if he could just stay healthy for an entire season, he would have that All-Star level year that he has long seemed capable of producing.

In 2019, he stayed healthy enough to play 156 games, but production did not follow.

In 616 plate appearances, Belt hit .234/.339/.403 with 17 home runs and 57 RBI.
