San Francisco, Calif. – The San Francisco Giants have re-signed free agent catcher Nick Hundley to a one-year contract, club Senior Vice President and General Manager Bobby Evans announced today. Per club policy, financial terms were not disclosed.
“We are glad to welcome Nick back to the Giants,” said Evans. “We appreciated his contributions last year and we look forward to him wearing a Giants uniform again in 2018.”
Hundley hit .249 (70-for-287) with nine home runs and 35 RBI while appearing in 101 games (65 starts at catcher) in his first year in a Giants’ uniform. Last season, 32 of his 70 hits were for extra-bases. Behind the plate, he threw out 26.5 percent (13-for-49) of potential base stealers.
