This offseason, the Washington Nationals acquired two low risk, high reward relief pitchers: Kyle Barraclough and Trevor Rosenthal.
Of the two, Barraclough has the most question marks surrounding his game and his role on the team.
The Nats acquired Barraclough from the Miami Marlins for international bonus slot money, a tiny cost after Barraclough posted career-worst numbers across the board last season.
Barraclough had a 4.20 ERA, but a 4.98 FIP and 5.50 walks allowed per nine innings with Miami in 2018.
Before 2018, however, Barraclough was extremely effective for the Fish.
