Nationals history: Examining the Nats first base position over the years

After trading for Nathaniel Lowe, the Washington Nationals have a new first baseman. With a new face at the cold corner, it feels like a good time to reminisce about some of the Nationals best first baseman. In their relatively short history, the Nats have had some great players at the position.

When the Nationals came to town, they had a young cornerstone piece at first base in Nick Johnson. He was one of the best players on the team in 2005 and 2006. For my money, he had the second best eye in Nationals history, only behind Juan Soto.
