Before Sean Nolin’s first major league outing since 2015, Washington Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez talked to reporters about what he wanted to see from the 31-year-old lefty, who earned his call-up with a strong showing at Triple-A Rochester in the club’s system, after pitching in Japan in 2020 and signing a minor league deal with the Nats this past winter.
“He’s worked hard to get back up to the big leagues, now he gets another opportunity, so good for him,” Martinez said.
“He was in Japan, and pitched well in Japan before we got him, so I’m looking forward to watching him go out there and compete, and pitch the way he’s been pitching.
