Happy weekend, San Francisco Giants fans. It’s the last weekend without Giants baseball in it for a looooong time. And thankfully so.
As Spring Training winds down, it’s time to put a bow on some preseason things. And the Giants did that on Friday when they announced that Casey Schmitt, widely considered one of the team’s five best prospects, was given the Barney Nugent Award.
The award is given annually to a player in their first big league camp who embodies the spirit of the organization. Schmitt seemed like a lock.
Congratulations to Casey Schmitt on being named the 2023 Barney Nugent Award winner!
