To call a spade a spade, the 2019 San Francisco Giants struggle to hit the baseball.
That’s not to say the 2017 and 2018 teams fared much better, but the 2019 Giants have looked particularly helpless at times offensively. The recent addition of Kevin Pillar has provided a spark, but the Giants still have a long way to go before their offense is even league-average.
OPS+ is a park-adjusted offensive metric used to gauge a player or team’s production relative to the league average. A 100 OPS+ represents average production.
Entering play on Wednesday, the Giants had a team OPS+ of 54, which was 29th in the majors.
