Hwang credits Wotus for improving defense
Jae-Gyun Hwang makes a diving stop at third base and throws Enrique Hernandez out at first in the bottom of the 5th inningLOS ANGELES -- Obtained primarily for his offensive prowess, Giants third baseman Jae-Gyun Hwang lately has distinguished himself on defense, particularly during this weekend's series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
For example, Los Angeles had Austin Barnes on first base with one out in the fifth inning of Friday's series opener. Hwang dove to backhand Enrique Hernandez's tricky ground ball, which easily would have gone for an RBI double had it scooted by. Hwang not only held the runner, but also made a strong throw to first base for an out.
