In a mid-December interview, 24-year-old Washington Nationals’ reliever Koda Glover, who’s dealt with injury issues in each of his first two major league seasons, (with a torn labrum in his hip late in 2016, and then back and shoulder issues in 2017), talked about learning the difference between pitching through pain and pitching injured.
“I think there’s a big difference in pain and trying to push through something,” Koda said.
