As a team, the San Francisco Giants are dead last in the league in average exit velocity. The Astros have only one person appearing on this list ahead of a San Francisco Giant, but the Astros are 15th in team average exit velocity and they have had among the league’s best in pitching. The inverse is true for the Oakland Athletics who are slightly above average in terms of pitching, but are 8th in team average exit velocity. For people who want to blame Oracle Park for the Giants lack of offensive output, the Giants do rank 27th is average exit velocity at home, but they are tied for 29th for the second worst average exit velocity on the road. So, they don’t hit the ball hard at home and they hit the ball less hard on the road.
