Barringer named PBL Trainer of Year
The award is voted on by the other athletic trainers from all of the teams in the Pioneer League. It is the second time in the last five seasons that a trainer from the Osprey has been given the award, as Atsu Takei earned the honor in 2007.
"We are extremely proud of Scott for being named 2011 Pioneer League Athletic Trainer of the Year," said D-backs Minor League Medical Coordinator Ryan DiPanfilo. "The award recognizes his professional talents as a skilled clinician with high integrity and a strong work ethic. Undoubtedly, Scott has shown to be a great representation of our organization and possesses a very bright future within the profession."

Barringer received his Master's degree in Athletic Training while serving as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer at East Carolina University. Barringer received his bachelor's degree from East Stroudsburg University, where he served as a student athletic trainer and gained clinical experience at the high school, Division I and Division II levels, as well as playing a season of varsity baseball.
