Adrian Houser Inks Two-Year Deal with Giants After Velocity Bump

Adrian Houser has signed a two-year deal with the San Francisco Giants, following a significant velocity bump and mechanical changes. The pitcher, who saw his sinker average 95 mph in September and his slider jump to 88 mph, is coming off his best big-league stint. After starting 2025 in Triple-A and a successful run with the White Sox (2.10 ERA in 11 starts), Houser was traded to Tampa Bay. The Giants believe his best days are ahead, slotting him as a potential third or fourth starter. He continues his carnivore diet and fasting for preparation.
