Matt Grace, a Washington Nationals’ 2010 8th Round draft pick, debuted in the majors in his sixth pro season in 2015, making 26 appearances and throwing 17 innings, over which he put up a 4.24 ERA and a 3.08 FIP with eight walks (4.24 BB/9) and 15 Ks (7.41 K/9).
He talked last winter about getting to the majors and not wanting to leave.
"It does change your mindset,” Grace told reporters. “I think once you get a taste of what it's like in the big leagues and you finally reach that point, you'll do anything possible to get back there and stay there.
