Let's hope no sophomore slump for Soto.
Barring injuries, I think he's just too disciplined for big slumps.

He can only get better. Let's hope this is the start of a hot streak.

Not a conventional double but he will take it.

This was an “exhibition” against the Giants. The official first game is in at 4:30 am on MLB network and then again on tape at 8:00 pm tomorrow night. Not aware of any Nats other than Soto playing?

Second home run in two games. Nice to see him go the other way.

People have been hearing his name for a couple years. That got him some votes. Not a bad choice. He had a great rookie year. As did Juan.

Thanks spider.

Looks like "home cookin' " for Gurnick.    :)    Hell, his runnin' partner in LA didn't even vote for Soto.

Yep the guy from the Japanese publication voted for a Japanese player third. Hirano. Only vote he got. Go figure.

Haven't sophomore slumps been proven to not really be a thing?

Some players slump in their junior and even graduate years and still want record breaking contracts.
