On Thursday in the game between the Washington Nationals and the Philadelphia Phillies, the dominican star of the capital, Juan José Soto, traded a base on balls in the first inning and in the third, also connecting a home run for his account that has included him in MLB history.
This is the 40th game in which the Dominican slugger from the capital receives a ticket and hits a home run.
In doing so, the 22-year-old Soto joined a select group since 1901 in games with at least one walk and one homer before he turned 23: Hall of Famers Mel Ott (55), Eddie Mathews (45) , Ted Williams (44) and Jimmie Foxx (41).
Despite all the difficulties that the Washington Nationals have had, Juan Soto continues to play at a high level, in addition to being the most disciplined player in all of MLB, as he leads in OBP with .446 and walks in total with 106 this season, having an OPS of .963.
