Harrison Bader Named Giants' CF, Shifts Lee to Right Field

Harrison Bader has been named the San Francisco Giants' new center fielder, moving Jung Hoo Lee to right field. The Gold Glove winner, who signed a two-year, $20.5 million deal, is confident he can maintain his career-best 2025 offensive performance (.277/.347/.449, 17 HR, 122 wRC+), attributing it to being fully healthy post-2023 adductor surgery and an improved approach. His right-handed pull hitting style is expected to fit Oracle Park well, where he has a .791 OPS in 15 career games.
