Join Dr. Carlos as he explores the psychology of a pitcher with Shawn Estes. Estes made his Major League debut with the Giants on September 16, 1995, working 5.1 innings as a starter against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Estes had his best season as a professional in 1997, when he went 19-5 with a 3.18 ERA for the San Francisco Giants. He was selected to the NL All-Star team during this season. He also has 4 career home runs and 28 RBIs, including a grand slam in 2000.

Before Madison Bumgarner in 2014, Shawn Estes had the distinction of being the first pitcher in Giants franchise history to hit a grand slam (on May 24, 2000), even scoring two more runs in the 18-0 game.
