Will a future Hall of Famer bounce back for the San Francisco Giants after perhaps the worst season of his professional career?

Ray’s second Cactus League start was an encapsulation of the 33-year-old veteran at his best. He touched 96 mph with his fastball. He generated whiffs with his changeup, a pitch he learned from last year’s AL Cy Young Award winner, Tarik Skubal. He filled up the zone, landing 29 strikes on 36 pitches.

For the first time since their 2014 World Series win, the San Francisco Giants may finally have a clear path forward. Hiring team legend Buster Posey as their president of baseball operations may have been their biggest addition of the offseason.

With spring training rolling along for the San Francisco Giants, the team is focusing on preparations for the upcoming season. This winter, the Giants made a couple of notable moves to hopefully improve a team that has been struggling the last several years.
