Casey Schmitt draws first walk since May 24 during ongoing season

Casey Schmitt, the San Francisco Giants shortstop, drew his first walk since May 24 during a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on June 30, 2026. Despite this, Schmitt has been enjoying a breakout season with impressive stats, including leading the Giants in first-inning home runs this season. The streak of 169 plate appearances without a walk brings him close to historical Giants records, which raises questions about his approach at the plate. In a recent interview, Schmitt acknowledged the unique nature of his performance but refrained from elaborating on his avoidance of walks.
