Wednesday BP: Return of the Captain

Good morning, baseball fans!

One of the highlights of the second half of last season was Brandon Belt, both on and off the field. Belt memorably gave himself the moniker of the “captain” of the team and bought in on the role-play in a way that some professional wrestlers might be envious of. Belt’s season was cut short, unfortunately, due to a fractured thumb that kept him out of the NLDS (and cut his chase for 30 home runs in a season short at 29).

But it was, arguably, one of if not the best season in his major league career.
