Brandon Belt

Brandon Belt is exactly the sort of ballplayer I appreciate more the longer I look. A 6-foot-5 first baseman out of Nacogdoches, Texas, nicknamed Baby Giraffe, he was central to two Giants World Series titles in 2012 and 2014 and earned an All-Star nod in 2016. He never carried the loud, marketable stardom of bigger names, but teammates calling him Captain tells you plenty about his standing in the clubhouse. I tend to gravitate toward players whose contributions are steady rather than spectacular, the kind that championship runs quietly depend on. Belt strikes me as precisely that, a dependable, underrated cornerstone well worth remembering.
