The San Francisco Giants will head into the 2026 season with four players featured on MLB Network’s Top 100 Players Right Now list - a clear signal that this roster isn’t just built to compete, it’s built to make noise.
Leading the way is ace Logan Webb, who checks in at No. 37 overall. Webb has become the rock of San Francisco’s rotation, and 2025 only reinforced that.
He led the National League in both innings pitched and strikeouts - a rare and impressive combo that speaks volumes about both his durability and dominance. Reaching the 200-strikeout mark for the first time in his career was a milestone, but it was his first Gold Glove Award that really rounded out his résumé.
Webb isn’t just overpowering hitters - he’s fielding his position at an elite level. That kind of two-way value is exactly what you want from your No. 1 starter.
Coming in at No. 46 is Rafael Devers, the newest big bat in the Giants’ lineup. San Francisco swung a major trade during the 2025 season to land the three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger, and it’s already paying dividends.
Devers launched 35 homers last year and was among the league leaders in both walks and on-base percentage - a combination that makes him one of the most dangerous left-handed hitters in the game. He brings championship pedigree from his time in Boston, including their 2018 World Series run, and now he’s anchoring the middle of the Giants’ order with the same thunder.
Matt Chapman landed at No. 85, and while his bat has had its ups and downs, his glove remains gold - literally. A five-time Gold Glove Award winner, Chapman is still one of the best defensive third basemen in the game.
His range and arm strength continue to be game-changers, and despite dealing with some injuries in 2025, he still managed to hit a pair of career milestones: his 200th home run and 1,000th career hit. That’s the kind of veteran presence and defensive stability that can be a difference-maker over a 162-game grind.
Just one spot behind Chapman at No. 86 is Willy Adames, who made a strong impression in his first year in San Francisco. Signed ahead of the 2025 season, Adames brought serious pop to the shortstop position, becoming the first Giant since Barry Bonds in 2004 to hit 30 home runs in a season.
That’s not a typo - it’s been over two decades since a San Francisco player reached that mark. Adames also took home the Willie Mac Award, a team honor that speaks to his leadership and impact in the clubhouse.
He’s been one of the most durable shortstops in the league, and his blend of power and presence up the middle gives the Giants a real edge.
With four players cracking the Top 100, the Giants are no longer flying under the radar. This is a team with star power, defensive excellence, and a rotation led by one of the best in the business. As the 2026 season approaches, San Francisco looks poised to be a serious factor in the National League - and MLB Network is taking notice.
