BIOGRAPHY

Brian Goodwin was born  November 2, 1990, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. He is an outfielder in the MLB.

He was called up to the Nationals in August 2016 after hitting .284 in the minor leagues. On August 10, 2016, Goodwin connected for his first major league hit, a single, against the Cleveland Indians. After starting the 2017 season with the Triple-AAA Syracuse Chiefs, Goodwin was promoted to the majors in May, taking the place of injured outfielder Chris Heisey. Goodwin hit his first major league home run on June 2, 2017, at the Oakland Coliseum, connecting for a two-run shot to right-center off Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Zach Neal, amid a four-hit outburst that marked his best day at the plate in his major league career to that point. On July 27, 2017, Goodwin touched off back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs for the Nationals against Michael Blazek of the Milwaukee Brewers, hitting a two-run shot that scored pitcher Max Scherzer from first base to begin the onslaught. It was the first time the feat had been accomplished in Major League Baseball since the 2011 season.

On May 4, 2021, Goodwin signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox organization. On June 10, Goodwin was selected to the active roster. On June 12, he made his White Sox debut and notched a three-run homer with five RBI in the game.
