PATRICK BAILEY NEWS

Supplies walk off home run Bailey went 2-for-5 with a walk-off two-run homer in Sunday's extra-inning's win over the Rangers.

Impact The Giants were down to their final out after they had been winning all game before allowing the Rangers to push it to extra innings. Bailey timed up an inside fastball from Will Smith perfectly and sent a laser to left field that just cleared the wall. It was his first home run since June 30 and he's now posted nine hits over his last 21 at-bats. Bailey had a rough month of July but has certainly turned things around this month and is now slashing .323/.447/.452 with seven RBI, four runs and a 7:7 BB:K through 38 plate appearances in August.

Notches first big-league steal Bailey went 1-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Pirates.

Impact Bailey was effective on both sides of the stolen-base equation Friday, as he also threw out Tucupita Marcano in the third inning. Bailey's theft was the first in his career, and as a catcher, he shouldn't be expected to run frequently. He's also slashing .290/.320/.483 with five home runs, 27 RBI, 15 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple over 41 contests, though he's hitting a light .167 in July.

Mashes fourth homer Bailey went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 8-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Bailey is off to a good start since getting called up to the big leagues on May 19. The 2020 first-round pick is slashing .330/.361/.560 so far, and is quickly proving to be a worthy fantasy option. His four total homers aren't eye-popping, but his contact hitting has been excellent, as he has hits in 10 of his 15 contests.

Swats third homer Bailey went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-3 win over the Cardinals.

Impact He launched a solo shot off Genesis Cabrera in the sixth inning, going back-to-back with Mike Yastrzemski to blow open what had been a 6-2 game. Bailey continues to solidify his hold on the Giants' starting job behind the plate, and since his promotion in mid-May he's slashing .323/.353/.585 through 70 plate appearances with three homers and 16 RBI. His 3:19 BB:K and .419 BABIP suggest there will be regression coming for his batting average, however -- which wouldn't be a shocking development for a 24-year-old who batted .225 in High-A only last year.
