"The whole package has made him San Francisco's most valuable player through six weeks. The team around him has not played up to expectations. The Giants have lost eight of their last nine games and sit a season-high nine games below .500. Their 14-23 record is tied with that of the Mets for worst in the National League. They're already facing what seems like an insurmountable gap behind the Dodgers and Padres in the NL West."
Luis Arraez has produced a .316/.340/.398 start with only six strikeouts across 144 plate appearances. He returned to second base after previously being a below-average defender and spending time away from the keystone. His move was supported by the Giants and their infield coaching staff led by Ron Washington. Defensive metrics show strong performance, including nine Outs Above Average, a +5 Defensive Runs Saved total, 110 assists, and nearly 300 innings without an error. His overall value has made him the Giants’ most valuable player through six weeks. Meanwhile, the Giants have struggled, losing eight of nine and sitting nine games below .500 with a 14-23 record tied for worst in the National League.
