OF Ismael Munguia was recognized by his teammates as the most deserving player in his first major-league camp.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Ismael Munguia makes a catch during throwing practice of day six of spring training at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Monday, Feb. 19, 2024. SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Ismael Munguia, a Giants’ outfield prospect and 5 feet, 8 inches of energy, has opened more eyes than just manager Bob Melvin this spring.
Homering for his first hit of the spring, Munguia made an instant impression that only grew from there. In 17 games entering Thursday, he had scored 13 runs and was batting .467/.500/.767 with a double, a triple, a pair of home runs and four stolen bases while playing all three outfield positions. “I just play hard. That’s my style of play. I come to give my 100%. I play today. If there is a tomorrow, tomorrow is a new day and I’ll do the same thing, give my 100%,” Munguia said. “It means a lot to be recognized.”It was especially meaningful to Munguia, who around this time last year lost his younger brother Tonio in a motorcycle accident. He responded then in the same fashion he began this spring, homering in his first game back after the accident.
