Aaron Barrett hasn't pitched in the major leagues since 2015, which makes Tuesday's moment extra special.
The pitcher was out 2016 and 2017 after Tommy John surgery and a broken humerus. He started the season in Double-A.
But on Wednesday, Senators manager Matt LeCroy got emotional telling Barrett he was headed back to the big leagues and the special moment was captured on video.
"Sometimes I need to take a step back and tell myself, 'Dude, you're doing it,'" Barrett said of his comeback in March, according to the Washington Post's Jesse Dougherty.
