Howell, a non-drafted outfielder signed by the San Francisco Giants in 2022, was the Giants lead-off man for the first two months of the season prior to his promotion. In the month of May he batted .372/.454/.574 and led the league in average (.372), hits (35) and runs (31). He was second in total bases (54) and on-base percentage (.454) and third in OPS (1.028), while walking more times (14) than he struck out (13). He also had 11 multi-hit games and hit safely in 19 of 21 games (separate hitting streaks of nine and 10 games). Despite being promoted on May 30, Howell continues to lead the league in hits (60) and runs (44).
