Giants prospect Hunter Bishop explains what made spring training special

Hunter Bishop became a star for Arizona State last spring. The Palo Alto native hit .342 with 22 homers and stole 12 bases, prompting the Giants to take him with the No. 10 pick in the 2019 MLB Draft.

This spring certainly was a big one for Bishop, too. The Giants' No. 4 prospect came to Scottsdale ready for his first spring training as a pro. Before the sport was shut down due to the coronavirus (COVOD-19) pandemic, he even had a cup of coffee up with big league club.

He went just 1-for-8 with two strikeouts, a walk and one stolen base in six major league spring training games, but the results are far from the point.
