Writer’s Roundtable: Who will lead the 2019 Giants in home runs?

To say the San Francisco Giants have not been a prolific home run hitting team in recent seasons would be the understatement of the decade.

Last season, they finished 29th in the majors with 133 home runs. Third baseman Evan Longoria led the way with 16 long balls—the lowest total from a team leader in all of baseball.

The last player to reach the 20-homer mark was Brandon Crawford, who hit 21 homers during the 2015 season.

To find the club’s last 30-homer season, you have to go all the way back to 2004 when Barry Bonds slugged 45 as a 39-year-old.
