Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez on Joey Meneses, Josiah Gray in New York + more...

Joey Meneses hit a 389-foot, opposite field home run to walk off on the A’s on Wednesday afternoon in the nation’s capital, connecting for his 7th HR in 25 games since he made his MLB debut back on August 2nd.

In his first 104 plate appearances in the majors, after ten years in the minors and playing internationally, the 30-year-old OF/1B was 35 for 99 (.354/.385/.626) with six doubles, seven homers, four walks, and 18 Ks in 104 PAs. If you look at his spray chart for hits, you see he’s spreading the home runs around too, with four to left, one pretty much straight center, and two to right, including the game-winner against Oakland, Washington’s first walk-off win of the 2022 campaign (131 games in).
