Joe Ross, Austin Voth and Erick Fedde have all been terrific this spring, intensifying the competition for the 5th starter spot. Ross and Fedde have identical 2.45 ERA’s through 7.1 innings. While Voth has posted a 1.29 ERA through 7 innings. Fedde leads the group in strikeouts with 7, and Joe Ross has given up the fewest hits (4). It appears that Joe Ross is holding the early advantage, but there is still plenty left to see this spring before a decision is made.
Luis Garcia
Garcia, 19, is a top prospect for the Nationals, and has balled out early this spring.
