The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Afternoon Full of Awful, Debilitating Baseball (and other sports, depending on your respective fandom)
Jesse Winker has already been optioned to AAA Louisville, but that didn’t stop his solid Cactus League output from continuing. The sweet-swinging lefty got the start for the Cincinnati Reds in RF against the Chicago Cubs, and proceeded to go 2 for 4 with a dinger, a double, and a wall-scraping fly-out that was almost his second big fly of the afternoon.
On a day when hardly anything else in the baseball world was worth emphasizing, that’s good enough for a trophy.
