The San Francisco Giants Forgotten Asset: Brandon Belt

Brandon Belt is a name that starts plenty of conversation/arguments among Giants fans.

Either you love Belt for what he does well, or you hate him for what he doesn’t do well.

What he’s been good at throughout his career is getting on base. He has a career OBP of .358 with a career-high of .394 in 2016.

Even last year when he had a bit of a down year average-wise he posted an OBP of .355, which was second best on the team only behind Buster Posey.

Belt’s detractors point to the fact that he isn’t a prolific home run hitter, which is what you normally look for from your first baseman.
