Joey Wiemer's Hot Streak Sparks Nationals

0:00On March 30, Joey Weemer is lighting it up for the Washington Nationals right now. The outfielder has stepped up to the plate eight times this season and hasn't made an out yet. He's six for six with two walks, powering the Nats early with a homer on opening day and another yesterday against the Cubs. He got drafted in the fourth round by the Brewers back in 2020 and was a top prospect with huge power, speed, and a rocket arm for a six foot. Four, 225 pound guy. But hitting was always his weak spot, leaving him with a 205 average over nearly 500 big league at bats and bouncing through six. Team since last year. Nats fans are buzzing about this spark plug who's supposed to blotune against lefties where he's always mashed with solid ops numbers. His hot streak helped crush Chicago tend to four on opener day and now he's forcing managers to rethink the lineup because he's too locked in to sit. Yesterday against Shota Imanaga, Weemer crushed a homer, ripped a triple, drew a walk and singled sharp to left, showing crazy play discipline

Whatever clicked in the miners last year seems real, giving the 27 year old runway to stick as a fourth outfielder who mashes South Paws. Ride this way while it lasts and the Nats might have found their bowl from the blue. Stay locked in with Washington Nationals news today, AI Powered Updates.
