Every Giant led the majors in something
Sometime this year, Mike Krukow said that with all the statistics there are, everybody leads the league in something. I wanted to put that statement to the test in an article that’s entirely different than this one. I’ve looked at every Giants regular to see if I could find something they lead in the majors in. Some of these required more qualifiers than others.
Brandon Belt had the highest flyball percentage among first basemen with 400 plate appearances.
Andrew Suárez
Among left-handed rookie starters, Andrew Suárez had the highest groundball rate at 51.3 percent. He also led all rookies in innings pitched.
Stratton tied with 18 other pitchers for the league lead in complete game shutouts.
