SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Jae-gyun Hwang has tried to learn as many English words and phrases as possible as he acclimated himself with the Giants this spring.
He picked up three of the most important words in the club’s first full-squad workout in February.
I got it.
“The first day of practice, we are taking fly balls and I said, `OK! OK!’” Hwang said through Korean interpreter Mark Kim. “The coaches came over and told me, `No, you have to say, I got it.’”
On so many levels, Hwang got it this spring. He fit well on the field and in the clubhouse.
