On March 29, Joey Wemmer just made MLB history with the Washington Nationals. The 27-year-old outfielder homer in his first two games with the team, something no player had done since the franchise moved to DCN. 2005, he crushed another one Sunday at Rigglyfield. Earlier this week, we Emmer guy claimed off-wavers and shocked everyone by delivering right away. From Slovenia, Ohio, he's a 6 foot 4, 226 pound powerheter drafted in the 4th round by the brewers back in 20. 20. Most folks figured he wouldn't even crack the opening day roster, but the net sent down prospects dealing crews and Robert Hassel, opening a spot. Fans are buzzing about this underdog story, especially since he's thriving against left-handed pitchers early on. Now with two homers already this season, after just 16 in his prior career, Wemmer is proving his big league pop. If he keeps mashing with the platoon edge, that roster spot is locked in. This hot start has the Nats energy up as they roll into the 20-26

campaign, and Wemmer is just getting warmed up. You've been listening to Washington Nationals news today, AI Power Team Coverage.
