Would a healthy Giants lineup fair well in the postseason?

Bryan Murphy examines how a hypothetical, healthy San Francisco Giants batting lineup would perform in the postseason, using Statcast metrics highlighted by David Adler of Baseball Savant. The article considers the impact of players such as Rafael Devers, Bryce Eldridge, Jonah Cox, Matt Chapman, and Willy Adames if the team had advanced to October.

Statistically, the Giants rank 23rd in runs scored across the season and lack hitters in MLB's top 50 for average bat speed. However, players including Bryce Eldridge, Heliot Ramos, Casey Schmitt, and Willy Adames register solid secondary-tier bat speeds, despite the team posting the fourth-lowest fast swing rate in MLB at 20 percent.
