A fan’s video showed just how high Joey Meneses’ epic bat flip went at the World Baseball Classic

HOLY hang time.

PHOENIX — The Joey Meneses story keeps getting better, and he’s deservedly enjoying that journey.

Meneses made his big-league debut last season after spending 10 seasons in the minors. He didn’t even reach Triple-A until he was seven years into his minor-league career. But his strong showing with the Nationals in 2022 was enough to earn him a spot on Mexico’s World Baseball Classic squad, and on Sunday, he showed exactly why he belonged on this stage.

Meneses put Mexico on the board with a first-inning, two-run home run against Team USA. And then he blew the game open with a three-run homer in the fourth inning.

But keep an eye on the bat flip. I mean, Meneses straight-up threw that thing to the moon.

And here’s a shot from the stands. That bat had some SERIOUS hang time.

He waited 10 years for a moment like that, and fans absolutely loved it.

¡Cuánta clase! Joey Meneses y los Nationals le enviaron una pelota a una niña después de que otra fan se la robara

Este es un recordatorio para todo el mundo de que si un jugador de beisbol le lanza una pelota a un niño dentro del público, dejen que el niño se quede con la pelota. (Sí, ¡esto es algo que hay que recordarle al mundo!) En esta ocasión nos referimos …

Este es un recordatorio para todo el mundo de que si un jugador de beisbol le lanza una pelota a un niño dentro del público, dejen que el niño se quede con la pelota.

(Sí, ¡esto es algo que hay que recordarle al mundo!)

En esta ocasión nos referimos a lo que le pasó a una pequeña fan de los Washington Nationals: el jugador Joey Meneses le lanzó una pelota, pero otro fan, mucho mayor, estiró la mano y la atrapó antes que ella.

Los Nationals hicieron lo correcto y le mandaron una pelota autografiada junto con una nota de Meneses que decía que solo quería asegurarse de que ella tuviera una pelota. Un gesto de mucha clase.

Esto es realmente genial y maravilloso:

Traducción: Hola, Avery. Tenemos algo para ti.

 

Aquí les dejamos el momento en que se llevaron la pelota original:

Traducción 1: El jugador de los Nationals Joey Meneses escribe una carta a una fan que no pudo quedarse con la pelota que le había lanzado.
Traducción 2: Aquí está Meneses lanzándole una pelota.

Joey Meneses and the Nationals classily sent a young fan a ball after it was grabbed by another fan

This is awesome.

This is your reminder that if a baseball player throws a ball to a kid in the crowd, let the kid have it.

(Yes, this is something that the world needs reminding of!)

In the case of what happened with a young Washington Nationals fan, slugger Joey Meneses threw her a ball, but another, older fan reached out and grabbed it away from her.

The Nationals did the exact right thing and sent her a signed ball, along with a note from Meneses saying he wanted to make sure she got one. A very classy gesture.

This is really, really great:

Here’s the moment the original ball was taken:

Nationals’ Joey Meneses homered in his first MLB game after spending 10 years in the minors

What an incredible moment for Joey Meneses after a decade of waiting!

This home run for Joey Meneses was a decade in the making.

On Tuesday, the Washington Nationals were playing their first game in the post-Juan Soto era as the MLB trade deadline came to a close. While Nationals fans were still reeling from the loss of Soto, they were given quite the heartwarming story to cheer about.

After 10 years of playing in the minors, 30-year-old Meneses finally got called up for his first MLB game on Tuesday to make his debut with the Nationals. And for his first-ever career hit, Meneses went yard in the bottom of the seventh for a solo home run!

You can’t script it any better than that, honestly. What a moment to remember for Meneses as all his hard work finally paid off.
