Goodman was honored for his acts during the invasion of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. As rioters stormed the building in protest, Goodman's quick thinking helped protect others from the chaos, as he alerted members of the Senate and diverted the attention of those storming the building.
Nationals left fielder Kyle Schwarber was behind the plate to receive the pitch.
