Almost entirely meaningless; historically there is a tiny correlation. But to your point, for reference, the Giants went 11-12 in spring training last year and their best hitter was Austin Slater, who hit a Barry Bonds-like .360/.448/.880 (1.328 ops) while their worst hitters (among players who ended up on the team during the regular season, and setting aside Brandon Belt who only batted six times, with one hit) were LaMonte Wade (.182/.315/.318, .633 ops) and Darin Ruf (.190/.327/.310). By the way, Joey Bart led the team in spring training batting average last year at .423
