Nationals infielder Mark Reynolds is coming off one of the best weeks you'll ever see from a Major Leaguer.
The 34-year-old went 10-for-16 with two doubles, three homers, three walks, 12 RBI and seven runs scored. That's good for a .625/.684/.1.313 slash line and 1.997 OPS. Ten of those RBI came in one game, during Saturday's 18-4 drubbing of the Marlins, in which Reynolds homered twice.
Reynolds on Monday was named National League Player of the Week, because of course.

July 9, 2018 On the season, Reynolds is averaging .300 at the plate with three doubles, 10 home runs, 24 RBI and 13 walks. As a reminder, Reynolds went unsigned all offseason.
FYI, the Nats who was lobbying all spring for Mark Reynolds to get a job, saying it was nuts that he didn't, was his boyhood friend and UVA teammate Zimmerman.

July 8, 2018 Oh, and Reynolds threw a scoreless one-third in garbage time, to finish a lopsided 10-2 loss to Miami on Sunday and maintain his flawless 0.00 career ERA.
Right on cue. Mark Reynolds will pitch. He’s been asking Davey to let him do it recently. And he’s got a nasty knuckleball. Seen him throw it during BP. It’s legit.

July 8, 2018 Mark Reynolds says the last time he pitched in a game was Little League. Had been asking Davey to do it for a little bit now. Said he had all these things he planned to do if he ever pitched...and then got out there and was so nervous he just tried not to hit anyone.
