So, I wanted to look into the 2021 San Francisco Giants roster. First, I gotta say, I was pretty pumped about diving into this. I mean, who doesn’t love a good baseball roster deep dive, right?
I started by searching for general info on the 2021 Giants season. Found out that they had a killer record of 107 wins and 55 losses. That’s pretty awesome! The 2021 season was their 139th season in Major League Baseball and their 64th year in San Francisco, which is also pretty interesting. It got me even more excited to dig deeper.
Next, I narrowed down my search to focus specifically on the roster. I found some websites that listed the players, and one that talked about the team’s performance during the season. The team ended with almost 80 wins, which is respectable. Also, I found out that the Giants designated Blake Sabol for assignment and made room on the roster for Justin Verlander, whose contract was signed. It’s always interesting to see how these roster changes play out.
Then, I compiled all the player names I could find. I saw some familiar names and some new ones that I wasn’t too familiar with. It’s cool to see the mix of veterans and newer players. There’s even a player, LaMonte Wade Jr., whose birthday is today! Happy birthday to him.
- Brandon Belt
- Buster Posey
- Brandon Crawford
- Evan Longoria
- LaMonte Wade Jr.
- …and many more!
After getting a good list, I started looking into individual player stats. I looked at the basic ones like batting averages, home runs, and RBIs for the hitters. Also I found some trending data, like who has the most home runs all-time for the Giants. It’s always fun to see how players stack up against each other and against the all-time greats.
For the pitchers, I checked out their ERAs, strikeouts, and wins. Pitching is such a crucial part of the game, and it was cool to see how the Giants’ pitchers performed that season. I also wanted to find out which pitcher has the most strikeouts all-time for the Giants, which is another fun fact to know. It’s always amazing to see the kind of talent these guys have.
I also made sure to note any injuries or roster moves that happened during the season. Baseball is a long season, and injuries are unfortunately a part of the game. Seeing how teams adapt to these challenges is always interesting. I found information about the latest player injury updates, the head coach’s status, and even some details about their home venue.
Finally, I organized all this information into a simple spreadsheet. This helped me get a clearer picture of the team’s composition and performance throughout the season. This is when everything started to come together, and I could really see the bigger picture.
Overall, it was a fun little project. Learned a lot about the 2021 Giants and their players. Baseball is such a data-rich sport, and there’s always something new to discover. Now I’ve got a better understanding of the team and their roster, which is always a good feeling. It made me appreciate the game even more. Until next time, folks!
