Scouting Report: Matt Chapman
San Francisco Giants | 3B
Overall
Summary
Matt Chapman, 33-year-old third baseman for the San Francisco Giants, is experiencing a significant power outage in 2026. Through early May, Chapman is hitting .227/.308/.312 with just one home run and 14 RBIs, well below his typical production standards. The Giants have struggled offensively (14-23 record, last in NL West), and Chapman's lack of power has been a notable contributor to the team's woes. He has been given rest days and benched in recent games, which is unusual for a veteran who typically plays daily. Chapman acknowledged the team's offensive struggles in recent interviews, noting the unexpected poor start despite a strong spring training. Trade speculation has emerged regarding Chapman's future with the team as the Giants look to offload larger contracts.
