The Giants "won" the 2025 spring training, in that they finished 21-6 with an MLB-best +57 run differential on their way to the very definition of a mediocre season at 81-81.

This season, once again, they are 13-2 and leading MLB, with a run differential of +45. Dodgers are second in Cactus League at 10-6 and +22. 

Fun stats:
- Giants have scored the most runs in MLB at 112 in 15 games, Dodgers are at 109 in 16 games. Giants also have most RBIs at 110.
- Giants are batting .316 as a team, highest in MLB by .027.
- Giants have 5th most doubles (38), T8 triples (4), T10 in HRs (20), although that number doesn't reflect the five they hit today, which puts them at 3rd in MLB. 
- 2nd best overall slugging at .515 and best OPS at .896.
- Giants have stolen 16 bases, have only been caught twice.
- Giant hitters have third fewest walks in MLB.
- Giant pitchers 10th in ERA at 4.34.
- 20th most strikeouts, 21st fewest walks, 16th best WHIP, 13th best batting average against

I'm sticking with 94 wins as a prediction.

Stanford's Tristan Beck has struck out three, walked two in 3 2/3 innings, 4.91 ERA. Erik Miller is at least a week away, tightness on his side.

Austin Slater, called "best role player in baseball" in 2023 when he destroyed left-handed pitching in 2021 and 2022. He's 33, fighting for a spot on the Tigers, is hitting .313 with five hits in 15 ups, 3 walks, .450 OBP, .563 sligging and 1.103 OPS with a double and an HR. Slater's career pinch-hit OPS is 1.025, best in baseball history for PHs with more than 100 ABs. Ted Williams was a measly .953 OPS as a PH.

Also...I know it's only spring training, but Jordan Hicks' ERA is 7.71, Tyler Rogers ERA is 4.50, Camilo Doval is 9.00...and Kyle Harrison's ERA is 3.00.
