Baker: Zim swinging bat at 'Bonds-like' pace

It's a comparison that Baker does not hand out lightly. However, Zimmerman continues to amaze in his incredible start to the season for the Nationals. On Saturday, he hit his 13th home run, which tied the Yankees' Aaron Judge for the Major League lead, hit an RBI double and hit another ball 406 feet before it was caught at the wall by Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera.

Zimmerman has homered in 12 of the Nationals' first 30 games and he has notched 16 multi-hit games, including eight of his last nine games.
