The Nationals suddenly have a lot of starting pitching depth. After years of barely being able to field five starters, the Nationals now have difficult decisions to make in Spring Training. There are seven guys battling for five spots, unless the Nats go to a six man rotation.
According to reports, Mackenzie Gore, Michael Soroka, and Jake Irvin are likely to be in the rotation. That leaves two spots for Trevor Williams, Mitchell Parker, DJ Herz, and Shinnosuke Ogasawara. Given his performance last season, and his big (by 2025 Nationals standards) contract, you have to think that Williams is likely to be in the rotation as well.
