Washington – Coming out of the bullpen runs in the family for Hunter Harvey, a reliever for the Nationals.
His father, Bryan, was a two-time all-star in the majors and had 177 saves in nine years in The Show.
Kris Harvey, the brother of Hunter, pitched in the minors for the Marlins out of the pen.
So getting ready to pitch out of the bullpen is nothing new for Hunter Harvey, who was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles and then signed with Washington in Spring Training.
“The phone could ring in the first inning, it could ring in the ninth inning,” Harvey, standing by his locker in the Washington clubhouse before the Nationals began a homestand Friday against the Cincinnati Reds, told Federal Baseball.
