Willy Adames wRC+ with:

Bases empty: 94
Men on: 144
RISP: 187

Giants ranked 23rd in wRC+ with men on and 25th with RISP. This will be huge for them

RHP Ryan Watson (SFG) is a R5 reliever to watch.

FF had great results (29% Whiff%/.278 xwOBA) despite avg movement. Gets a ton of extension (7 ft avg) and is throwing from a low slot (5.5) for a 6'5" pitcher

SW/CB are high-whiff offerings that play off each other nicely.

It's rare that a catcher of this age has this much offensive talent. He's mashed at every level and deserves a ton of playing time in 2025.
