The Washington Nationals have some pitchers who are looking to make a good impression in spring training.
One of the most important will be on the pitching staff, as there are spots open in Dave Martinez’s bullpen heading into camp.and Jose A. Ferrer operating in front of him. It would be shocking if more veterans weren’t added to the mix between now and Opening Day.
His challenge will be jumping up two levels and proving that he deserves a spot on the Major League roster. Because of his Rule 5 status, he cannot be sent down to the minor leagues or he will have to be offered back to his original team. It was a preview of what was to come in 2024, during which he spent the entirety of the season in Double-A. His production was excellent with a 2.20 ERA across 57.1 innings with 65 strikeouts.
This is his first appearance in Big League camp and it will be interesting to see how he handles the jump in competition as he has yet to pitch above Double-A. His 2.21 ERA and 1.057 WHIP are both impressive and hint that he can handle the next step of his progression.
