Florida State took on the University of Miami last night. I wouldn’t normally write about this, but Nationals GM Mike Rizzo and Scouting Director Danny Haas were in the building. They were there to see one player, Florida State ace Jamie Arnold.
Arnold picked a bad time to have the worst start of his career, allowing six runs over four innings. Maybe Mike Rizzo sitting directly behind home plate, in the eye line of Arnold threw him off. Whatever it was, Jamie Arnold was not his normal dominant self.
Even with the rough outing, Arnold remains a serious candidate to be the number one pick.
