District on Deck’s Report Cards are still rolling along as we look at each Washington Nationals player. Next up, is Jeremy Hellickson, who ended up being one of Mike Rizzo’s finest offseason moves.
The right-hander signed a minor league deal on March 17th, with Spring Training almost over as he looked to steal the fifth starter role. Then when A.J. Cole faltered, the Nats called him up to the majors, and he did nothing but impress.
He ended 2018 with a 5-3 record and a 3.45 ERA in 19 starts for the Nationals.
