His 29 home runs represent the highest figure for a right-handed hitter for the Giants since Jeff Kent hit 37 in 2002.
The player was also designated in March as the Official Commissioner of the Junior Giants for the Giants Community Fund, reinforcing his bond with the community and the legacy of leadership that he now shares with McCovey.
