"He's the same guy every day, said manager Bob Melvin. He loves playing baseball. Even now, he doesn't want days off. He wants to keep playing. It's enthusiasm, it's support for his teammates, it's energetic, it's every day almost as advertised from what I've heard before (he signed). And now you look up and you see the numbers, too, the numbers are there as well after a slow start, which can be difficult in a new place. I'm very impressed with Willy Adames."
"Entering Friday, Adames led all Giants in FanGraphs' WAR (3.7). Over a team-high 157 games, Adames was hitting .225/.318/.415 with 28 home runs, 84 RBIs, 91 runs scored and 12 steals. Adames had a rocky start to his tenure in San Francisco after signing a seven-year, $182 million deal this offseason, the largest contract in franchise history at the time."
Willy Adames, in his first season with the San Francisco Giants, earned the 2025 Willie Mac Award as the team's most inspirational player. The Willie Mac Award, established in 1980 and voted on by players, coaches, fans, training staff and clubhouse staff, honors leadership and inspiration. Adames led the Giants in FanGraphs WAR (3.7) over a team-high 157 games, posting a .225/.318/.415 line with 28 home runs, 84 RBIs, 91 runs and 12 steals. After signing a seven-year, $182 million contract, Adames rebounded from a difficult early stretch following a midseason mental reset.
