One of the main storylines of Nationals Spring Training will be how the starting rotation sorts itself out. Right now it feels like there are seven guys battling for five spots. One of the guys who could be on the outside looking in is Mitchell Parker. However, a big spring could catapult him into the rotation.
Mitchell Parker is one of a few young Nats starting pitchers who established themselves at the big league level. In 151 innings, Parker held his own, posting a 4.29 ERA. While he was not exceptional, he held his own and ate innings for the Nats.
