After SF Giants cut him, outfielder goes on MLB-record tear
SFGATE • • sports
Key Points:
- Joey Wiemer, after being briefly with the San Francisco Giants, has made a spectacular start to the MLB season with the Washington Nationals, tying a modern record by reaching base in each of his first 10 plate appearances.
- Wiemer was acquired by the Giants in November but was designated for assignment less than a month later, after which the Nationals claimed him in January.
- The 27-year-old outfielder has delivered impressive performances, including multiple multi-hit games with home runs, helping the Nationals to a strong start this season.
- Meanwhile, the Giants have struggled offensively, with Wiemer’s early success overshadowing their lineup, which has yet to extend opportunities beyond their starting nine players.
- Wiemer’s hot streak highlights a missed opportunity for the Giants, as he has become one of the best stories in MLB this season despite being released by San Francisco.
