The time for being surprised by what
Juan Soto can do on the baseball field is over. When the Washington Nationals’ long-awaited, COVID-19 outbreak-delayed opening day game is tied at the bottom of the ninth inning, don’t be surprised that it’s Soto, the 22-year-old MVP frontrunner, who hits the walk-off RBI single to send the Nationals home with a 6-5 win over the Atlanta Braves. His teammates aren’t. This is what Soto does now.
The only real surprise was that Tuesday night marked Soto’s first walk-off hit in the major leagues.
