Starting today, we will be taking a look at how the five minor league affiliates of the Washington Nationals. First up, we will be looking at the high-A affiliate who plays in the Carolina League, the Potomac Nationals.
This season, Tripp Keister’s club made the postseason after going 39-31 in the second half of the regular season. Potomac would end up playing the Lynchburg Hillcats (Cleveland Indians) in the semifinals and end up losing the best-of-three series two games to one.
If you look at Potomac’s offense, they finished with the fifth most runs and second most triples in the league (Carolina League has eight teams).
