Paul Goldschmidt hasn’t been the same hitter this year, but in his first at-bat in San Francisco this season, he hit a booming two-run home run to straightaway center field. Goldschmidt is one of the most notorious Giants killers of this era. In 577 plate appearances, Goldschmidt has a .911 OPS and 23 home runs when he faces off against the orange and black.
Goldschmidt’s return to San Francisco prompted me to look at who has done the most damage against the Giants throughout. What I found is that Goldschmidt is one of the great Giants killers, but he’s not the greatest.
