Panik hit .305 as a rookie in 2014 and made the All-Star team in his first full season in San Francisco.
Eight years after debuting with the Giants and providing a spark amid their run to a third World Series title in five seasons, second baseman Joe Panik has retired.
One of Panik’s finest moments with the Giants came in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series when he started a 4-6-3 double play with a diving stop and a glove flip to shortstop Brandon Crawford. The full extension stop from Panik led to a flawless exchange with Crawford who fired to first base in time to double up then-Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer.
Panik joined the Giants’ organization as a first round draft choice in 2011 after a successful career as a shortstop at St. John’s University. He was promoted in June, 2014 after Dan Uggla went 0-for-11 in a brief tenure in San Francisco that helped convince former general manager Brian Sabean to turn to the farm system for production at second base.
