Some players are made for October. Buster Posey is one of those guys and plays well each time he’s in the postseason. A superb showing in the 2021 ALDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers is further cementing Posey’s legacy as a terrific postseason clutch performer. He’s undoubtedly the greatest playoff producer in Giants history and the 2012 NL MVP continues to add icing to the cake as the new Giants all-time Postseason Hits leader that should one day help him get to the halls of Cooperstown.

BUSTER POSEY IS THE GREATEST POSTSEASON PERFORMER IN GIANTS FRANCHISE HISTORY

COLORS KEY | FULL GIANTS OUTLOOK 

Buster Posey has had more opportunities to play in the postseason than most MLB players have and has made the most of those chances to play October baseball. In 2021, Posey is playing for the Giants’ best team in franchise history, which may culminate in a World Series Championship. He has a storied career in the postseason that includes multiple World Series rings and is the greatest postseason performer in franchise history, further cemented by now becoming the postseason Hits leader.

When all is said and done, Buster Posey has a legitimate shot to end up in Cooperstown given his heroics in October and regular season statistics. This season has been a resurgence for the Giants and their veteran-filled roster as they continue to prove the baseball world wrong. Posey is at the forefront of their Home Run revolution that has put the Giants squarely in the 2021 MLB Championship race.
