Joel Peguero has generated significant buzz during Spring Training for the San Francisco Giants, showcasing his exceptional pitching skills by consistently hitting speeds of 100 mph and 101 mph. His impressive performance earned him the 2025 Barney Nugent Award, recognizing his dedication and spirit in his first big league camp. With a record of 6 2/3 scoreless innings and a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio, Peguero is not only a contender for the Opening Day roster but has also made a lasting impression in the organization.
He came into camp and has been the talk of the camp the minute he got here with his bullpens, Melvin said. He followed it up in games.
Winning this award, especially my first (year) in the organization, makes me feel very proud. Peguero said through team interpreter Erwin Higueros.
