The Washington Nationals perplex us, disgust us, and even make us stand up and start clapping our hands and arms to “Baby Shark.”
But one constant source of joy is 20-year-old outfielder Juan Soto. Off the field, his smile and personality are infectious, and his play on the field can send a ripple effect throughout the whole lineup.
Even amid the horrors at Citi Field last night, Soto shined through the darkness by hitting two runs and driving in three runs.
Both of Soto’s home runs were go-ahead home runs. As Doug Kern pointed out, Soto did the same thing on June 11 of last season against the Yankees.
