“He’s making progress,” Washington’s GM Mike Rizzo said of the continued development he saw from Nationals’ starter Josiah Gray early this past season, in the 24-year-old right-hander’s second run with the club after he was acquired from the Dodgers in the deadline deal which sent both Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to LA in late July of 2021.
“We see a little bit of progress each time he goes out there,” Rizzo added. “He kind of does something that we go over in the meetings, he’s a student of the game, and he’s making good, slow progress, and we feel that he [is] going to be [one of] the lynchpin[s] of our rotation in years to come.
