Kapler began the 2021 flavor with a coaching staff of 13 that included nine who had never been on a major league staff earlier he hired them, and well-nigh of them were immature enough to exist playing themselves.[130] Kapler won his 200th game as a manager in April 2021, becoming the first manager in MLB history with a 200–200 win–loss record over the beginning 400 games of his career.[131]

In the 2021 regular season, his Giants won more games than any other major league team (107; with his team's winning percentage rising from .483 to .660), the 12 overturns caused by his challenges were tied with those of LA's Dave Roberts for the most in the majors, and he was one of only two managers who were non ejected during the season (along with Tampa Bay'southward Kevin Greenbacks).[132] He used more than pinch hitters per game than any other major league manager for the second season in a row (two.60), and the second-nigh pitchers per game (iv.7).[132] Kapler concluded the 2021 flavour with a Giants managerial won-loss per centum of .613, third all-time of the Giants' 39 managers, backside only Hall of Famers Hughie Jennings and Rogers Hornsby, each of whom managed for less than a year nearly a century before.[133]

Kapler'due south players praised him for keeping open lines of advice with them throughout the season, which was especially important given that he used the team'southward entire roster, shattering the MLB record for pinch-hit appearances as he exploited matchups aggressively.[134]

Kapler was named the 2021 National League Managing director of the Year past the Baseball Writers' Clan of America, with 28 of a possible 30 first place votes. He became the 2d Giants manager to win the award, joining Dusty Baker, after managing the team to a franchise-record 107 wins and into the postseason for the first time in five years, despite pre-flavour projections that questioned the Giants' ability fifty-fifty to finish above .500 (Baseball Prospectus projected the team to win 75 games, entering the flavour).[135] [134]

Kapler was also named the Sporting News 2021 NL Managing director of the Twelvemonth, equally 86% of his fellow National League managers voted for him.[136] [137] [138]

On Nov 12, the Giants rewarded Kapler with a two-year contract extension through the 2024 season.[139]

Accolades [edit]

In 2006 he was inducted into the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.[140]

Jewish heritage [edit]

Kapler is Jewish, and to honor his heritage, has a Star of David tattooed on his left calf, with the inscription "Strong Willed, Strong Minded" in Hebrew, and the post-Holocaust motto "Never Once more" with a flame and the dates of the Holocaust on his right dogie.[one] He describes his background every bit "culturally Jewish.... I was—and am—proud of my heritage, but don't practice religion," and as to beingness a Jewish Major Leaguer said: "That's something I take great pride in.... I'm very interested in my heritage and I'm very proud of who I am."[six] [141] He has fourteen total tattoos.[i] [3] [142]

Kapler has been given the nickname Hebrew Hammer [143] due to his frequent longball hits, along with his muscularity and the fact that he is Jewish. It later became the nickname of Ryan Braun, who is also Jewish, and was Kapler'due south teammate on the Brewers.[144] On August 8, 2005, while playing for the Blood-red Sox, Kapler took the field in the 9th inning forth with Kevin Youkilis and Adam Stern, setting a "record" for the most Jewish players on the field at once in American League history and the near in Major League Baseball history since four Jews took the field for the New York Giants in a game in 1941.[145]

In 2008, with his career 69th home run he passed Art Shamsky and Lou Boudreau for 9th on the all-fourth dimension list for home runs by Jewish major leaguers.[146] Kapler was the unanimous winner of the 2008 Jewish Comeback Histrion of the Year honour.[147] Through 2018, he was fifth all-time in career stolen bases (behind Brad Ausmus) and 9th all-time in career doubles (behind Sid Gordon) among Jewish major league baseball players.[148] [149]

In 2018, Kapler became the eighth Jewish director in MLB history.[17] He joined Bob Melvin, Brad Ausmus, Jeff Newman, Norm Sherry, Lou Boudreau, Andy Cohen, and Lipman Pike.[17]
