Giants: Kevin Pillar’s MVP vote the definition of homerism

Outfielder Kevin Pillar was a solid pickup for the San Francisco Giants after coming over in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays shortly after Opening Day.

He shored up the center field position and led the team in hits (157), doubles (37), RBI (87), runs scored (82) and steals (14), while tying for the team lead in home runs (21).

However, he also finished with a brutal .293 on-base percentage thanks to a non-existent 2.9 percent walk rate, and he graded out as merely an average defender in the outfield despite plenty of highlight-reel plays.
