Washington Nationals news & notes: Stockpiling starting pitching in D.C.

Patrick Reddington has been FBB's Managing Editor since 2007; credentialed reporter (2009-2020); freelance writer; covering the Expos/Nationals online since 2006.

Washington Nationals’ starters Jake Irvin (33) and MacKenzie Gore (32) got up to 30 starts this past season, “… while Mitchell Parker [29] fell just short in his rookie season.” The three starters, Irvin (27), Gore (25), and Parker (25), give the club, “... a strong foundation moving into the 2025 season and beyond,” as the club wrote in their 2024 Season in Review.

Add in Patrick Corbin (32 GS; also, now a free agent), and the, “… Nationals joined Kansas City, New York (AL), and Seattle as the only four clubs in Major League Baseball to have at least four pitchers make at least 29 starts,” this past season.
