Career
Selected by the Giants in the 5th round of the 2009 draft pick. In 2010, three teams of the “Giants” system passed, everywhere having excellent indicators of home runs and RBI. He was 26th in the list of promising players for 2011 and 3rd in the list of promising players of the first base [1] .
He had a good spring training camp in 2011 , and from the beginning of the season he began to play in the starting line-up of the Giants sluggers. The debut match for him was the match on the Discovery Day, March 31 against the Los Angeles Dodgers , knocking out one hit with three exits to the base [2] . Already in the next game, on April 1 , against the same “Dodgers”, Brandon knocked out his first home run with the filing of Chad Billingsley , who became a three-pointer [3] . Due to injury, Belt missed all of June and most of July. In total, in the first season he played 63 games in which he knocked out 9 home runs and 18 RBI with a hit percentage of 0.225, playing both on the left field and on first base.
He spent the 2012 season completely, but had only 7 homers and 56 RBIs with a hit rate of 0.275. Since this season has become a solid first base player. Also in 2012, Brandon made his debut in the Postseason, but before the Final Series of the National League he played there unsatisfactorily, having extremely low rates.
