Giants' Defense Crisis: 102 Errors, League-Worst Glove Work a Key Offseason Priority
San Francisco leads MLB in errors and ranks 24th in defensive runs, with Willy Adames and Jung Hoo Lee singled out as the biggest liabilities in the field.
The Giants have committed 102 errors this season, the most in MLB, and rank 24th with -16.4 Defensive Runs Above Average. Willy Adames (-8.3 Def) and Jung Hoo Lee (-10.5 Def) are the team's worst defensive players, each costing roughly one win. The trade of Patrick Bailey and Daniel Susac's injury removed two of the team's top defenders mid-season. Fixing the defense is expected to be a major focus alongside bullpen improvements this offseason.
