Most Washington Nationals’ fans are probably familiar with Luis Avilán from his days in the Atlanta Braves’ bullpen.
Back when Avilán’s career started in 2012, he quickly became an important piece for the Braves.
In his first season, he commanded a 2.54 FIP, while he amassed a 1.52 ERA in year number two.
Now with the Nationals as a non-roster invitee, Avilán will look to make an impact in a different NL East bullpen.
As of this writing, FanGraphs projects Avilán to be present in the bullpen come April. The lefty veteran is nearly 32 and is looking to regain some of his “stuff” that’s been present in the past.
