Riley Adams, after working with Erick Fedde for the first time, talked about his preparation for the start, and the work he did with fellow Washington Nationals’ backstop Tres Barrera before the outing. The work the catching duo in D.C. did impressed Fedde, 28, who talked about how well-prepared Adams was after an at-times-shaky but ultimately solid start.
“He was wonderful today,” Fedde said of Adams. “You know that’s the first time I’ve actually ever thrown to him. He was really well-prepared in our pregame meeting. I was getting ready to explain to him kind of the things I like to do and he was on top of it kind of taking the words right out of my mouth, so to me that is awesome, seeing how prepared he was and he was a nice, big target, framed well today, and I thought we were in sync for the most part.
