WASHINGTON – Nationals’ pitching coach Paul Menhart and Brad Holman, the pitching coordinator in player development, have not been in the same room for several weeks.
“We were able to get together during Spring Training 2.0,” said Menhart, who worked with Holman in Florida before Spring Training shut down in March.
But their ability to communicate has been important this season – and has been tested due to injuries, the pandemic, and under-performance by some pitchers.
Holman has been at the alternate site in Fredericksburg, Virginia most of the summer.
“We have the ability to discuss things openly and honestly,” Holman told Federal Baseball on Friday.
