Top Performers on Deck


For the Giants, Brett Wisely, playing in the infielder position, has emerged as a beacon of consistency and skill over the past three games. His ability to connect with the ball has been impressive, boasting an average that speaks volumes of his contribution to the team's offensive efforts. On the other side, Paul Goldschmidt of the Cardinals has been nothing short of spectacular, wielding his bat with precision and power that has seen him drive in crucial runs and maintain an on-base percentage that keeps pitchers awake at night.


Wisely's performance has been particularly noteworthy in one of the previous games where he achieved an OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) that highlighted his dual threat as both a hitter capable of getting on base and slugging for extra bases. Over these games, his batting average combined with strategic base running has provided the Giants with much-needed momentum at critical junctures.

Goldschmidt, a formidable first baseman, has not only showcased his batting prowess but also demonstrated why he's considered among the elite with an OPS that underscores his ability to change the game with a single swing. His contributions have been pivotal in keeping the Cardinals competitive and often ahead in tightly contested matchups.
