The Giants have drawn the fewest walks in MLB, and more contact might be to blame

As of the start of play on Tuesday, the San Francisco Giants have the worst walk rate in baseball. The team with the second-worst walk rate in baseball is the Colorado Rockies, who have walked in 7.1 percent of their plate appearances. The Giants are more than a full walk behind them, with a 5.8 walk rate. There are seven teams that have taken two walks for every one drawn by the Giants.Seems bad.Advertisement
