Juan Soto went 5 for 18 (.278/.409/.611) with two home runs, three walks, and four Ks in the NLDS with the Los Angeles Dodgers, with two hits in Game 5, an RBI single and homer that tied things up at 3-3 in the eighth before the Washington Nationals won in extra innings to advance to the NLCS.
St. Louis Cardinals’ manager Mike Shildt told reporters going into Game 1 that the Nationals’ 20-year-old outfielder has definitely made a strong impression.
“He’s very disciplined regardless of age, but more importantly, more impressive based on his age,” Shildt said.
