WASHINGTON – When the Nationals broke camp and headed north late last month, some top pitchers not on the Opening Day roster headed to the alternate site in Fredericksburg.
But there are still some quality arms in West Palm Beach – and Brad Holman is keeping a careful eye on them.
“It is a neat environment; they get to be around older guys while getting in their innings,” Holman, the pitching coordinator in player development, told Federal Baseball from Florida on Friday. “We have this new wave of pitchers who came in” to Florida after the big league club headed north.
