Whatever your feelings on where this San Francisco Giants season might end, you almost certainly are a part of a large cohort of fans who see the debuts of so many young players as an unambiguously good thing. The only downside of this joy has been the uncertainty of who might stick around next year. Luis Matos has certainly made the case that he’s ready.
In 215 plate appearances so far, he’s hitting .270/.329/.378 (.705) with 2 home runs, 13 doubles, and a triple, three stolen bases with zero caught stealing and a 29-15 K-BB. He has been unimpressive in the larger sense while an intriguing figure just when it comes to being on the Giants’ roster.
