[ed. note- “We wrote the following after Juan Soto’s debut and we’ve been waiting for Soto to get all MLBPA’d up so it could get approved. Which it is now.”]
Juan Soto homered in the first at bat of his first game at Low-A Hagerstown this season, in his second game at High-A Potomac, and in his second at bat in his first game at Double-A Harrisburg.
Then last month in Nationals Park, the 19-year-old slugger, who struck out in his first major league at bat in a pinch hit appearance on Sunday, hit the first pitch he saw as a starter in the big leagues to left field for an opposite field, three-run blast.
