Part 3/13:

In 2025, Verlander delivered a strong season for the Giants, posting a 3.85 ERA over approximately 150 innings, with 137 strikeouts and a 1.36 WHIP. His performance was particularly impressive given the rigors of pitching at his age, and he proved to be a vital stabilizer for the Giants' rotation during the second half of the season. Despite some struggles earlier in the year, Verlander rediscovered his form and was arguably the team’s best pitcher in the latter part of 2025, stepping up in key moments when other starters faltered.
