All Washington Nationals fans know that the foundation of the team has always been starting pitching. In 2019, it is even more evident.
Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, Patrick Corbin, and Anibal Sanchez have anchored the Nationals’ rotation, pitching over 440 innings of great baseball from March and into July.
Arguably the best free-agent signing in Nationals history, Scherzer is on his way to his third National League Cy Young award in four years. His 5.5 WAR leads all pitchers in baseball by more than one win. What else needs to be said?
