Coming into 2018, not too many Washington Nationals fans would remember the name, Kyle McGowin. But after his first career major league start in September, he might be able to set himself up for a breakout year in 2019.
The 26-year-old was about to start his sixth season in the minor leagues after he was acquired from the LA Angels in the Danny Espinosa trade. He opened the year in High-A with the Potomac Nationals and then was able to take off.
After a brief two-start sting in Potomac, he moved up to Double-A with the Harrisburg Senators.
