The San Francisco Giants are a Major League Baseball team; the sport played is baseball. Quarterbacks, however, are specific to American football. Therefore, the concept of a “quarterback” does not exist within the San Francisco Giants organization, nor within the sport of baseball in general. The term represents a position responsible for leading the offensive plays in American football.
Understanding the separation between the two sports is important. Baseball strategy centers around batting, pitching, and fielding. American football revolves around plays directed by a quarterback, designed to advance the ball down the field. This distinction highlights the different athletic skill sets and strategic thinking required for success in each respective sport. The success of the Giants is thus evaluated on factors like batting average, earned run average, and fielding percentage, which are not applicable to football.
