San Francisco Giants Release
Infielder Jae-gyun Hwang was elected the 2017 Barney Nugent Award winner in a vote by his teammates, coaches and training staff earlier this morning (Saturday 3/25/2017).
The Barney Nugent Award, formerly known as the Harry K. Jordan Award, is named in honor of the Giants’ former athletic trainer who worked for the Club from 1993 to 2003. This award is given in recognition of the player in his first big league camp whose performance and dedication in Spring Training best exemplifies the San Francisco Giants spirit, much like Nugent did in his time with San Francisco.
