In 2025, the San Francisco Giants are off to a surprising 31-25 start under Buster Posey’s management, trailing the Cardinals for the final NL Wild Card spot and the Dodgers in the NL West. However, Willy Adames, their key free agent signing, has struggled significantly, posting poor defensive metrics and a disappointing batting line of .208/.288/.333 with only five home runs in 56 games. While his struggles can partly be attributed to Oracle Park’s challenging conditions, adjustments to his hitting approach could improve his performance moving forward.
