MLB: Joey Meneses continues to make history with his bat; he joins exclusive rookie club

the mexican slugger Joey Meneses continues to give a lot to talk about with the Washington Nationalsa team that gave him the opportunity in 2022 to debut in Big leagues.

“CabaJoey”, as the versatile player from Culiacán, Sinaloa, is also known, this Saturday he was once again on the offensive in the thrashing victory that his team gave me against the Phillies 14-3. Meneses finished the day batting 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBIs and four others scored.

In his first 51 matches played in the Big Top, the 30-year-old IF/OF accumulates 68 hitsa figure that puts it in a exclusive club along with Ryan Braun, Orlando Cepeda, Walt Dropo and Willie McCovey, as the only rookies to reach that mark in the history of the older ones.

After being activated on the roster by manager Dave Martinez after Juan Soto and Josh Bell left for San Diego at the trade deadline, Meneses is batting .332 with 13 home runs and 33 RBIs.

After his successful presentation at the Bog Show, it is rumored that the management of the US capital is interested in retaining “CabaJoey” in the upcoming winter free agency.
