WASHINGTON – For the past few weeks, Juan Soto, Trea Turner, and Bryce Harper have been the top three hitters for average in the National League.
Much has been made of the fact that the trio were all teammates for part of 2018 – after young sensation Soto was called up from Double-A in May of that year.
Overlooked, however, is that Soto, Turner and Harper all played for Double-A Harrisburg on their rise through the minors on the way to Nationals Park.
And each of them worked at some point with Troy Gingrich, who is one of the few in player development with Washington that can make that claim.
