Juan Soto went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk in last night’s game, leaving the 22-year-old right fielder 5 for 9 with two home runs and four walks in the first three games of the four-game series between the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves in Truist Park. Soto took lefty Grant Dayton out to left-center in Tuesday night’s game, and on Wednesday hit one off lefty Drew Smyly, to left-center again, to pretty much the same spot.
Does Juan look more like Juan to his manager the way he’s swinging it right now, elevating the ball again after struggling to hit the ball in the air for a few weeks?
