Following a 2 for 5 game on June 1st in which he hit a double and a home run, 36-year-old Washington Nationals’ first baseman Ryan Zimmerman was 29 for 91 (.319/.347/.593) with seven doubles and six home runs in 33 games (18 starts) and 95 plate appearances in the 2005 1st Round pick’s 16th MLB season.
Zimmerman slowed over the weeks that followed, however, going 5 for 38 (.132/.175/.289) in 15 games (8 starts) and 40 PAs over that stretch, which included his 0 for 4, BB, night in the first game of the Nationals’ four-game set with the Miami Marlins on Thursday in what’s now being called loanDepot park.
