Going into his start against the Philadelphia Phillies back on June 24th, Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez said he wanted to see 24-year-old right-hander Jefry Rodriguez try to be more efficient on the mound.
“He’s got electric stuff, he really does,” Martinez explained. “What I’d like to see improve is pitch efficiency, that’s the key, and if he can do that — if we can get six inning outs of him, we’ll be in great shape.
