Kerry Crowley from the Bay Area News Group captured Sandoval throwing off the mound on Saturday morning before the Giants prepared for the first spring training game of the year (weather permitting).
Sandoval, of course, famously pitched a 1-2-3 inning last season vs. the Dodgers. He flashed impressive stuff -- a mid-80s fastball and a hammer curveball -- and Giants fans loved it.

More position players pitched last year than ever before, as managers found it more and more worthwhile not to "waste" a relief pitcher in a blowout game.
So don't be surprised if, in Bruce Bochy's final season, he gives the Panda another shot or two on the mound.
