Giants fielding was basically middle-of-the-pack in 2025:
1. 18 Defensive Runs Saved (16th in MLB). Patrick Bailey had 19, Koss had eight, Fitzgerald had seven, Webb had seven.
2. 16 Fielding Run Value (10th in MLB). Bailey led MLB with 31 FRV, second most was Rafaela/Red Sox and Kirk/Blue Jays with 22.
3. -23 Outs Against Average (23rd in MLB). OAA does not capture catcher's defensive value, so... Giants infield was -5 OAA (17th in MLB), Giants Outfield was -18 OAA.
Where did the SF Giants rank in key defensive metrics in 2025?
Both Bailey and Webb let MLB in SABR Defensive Index (SDI) at their respective positions. That's 25% of the Gold Glove voting, the rest is manager/coach voting. Vote has already taken place, winners announced on November 2.
