When you talked about pitchers at the Washington Nationals double-A affiliate (the Harrisburg Senators) last season, a lot of the conversation would be about Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez. As a team, the Senators’ 3.75 ERA was the third lowest of any team in the Eastern League.
Giolito and Lopez may have gotten most of the hype while they were at Harrisburg, but one pitcher who had a strong season was right-hander Greg Ross. With high-A Potomac and Harrisburg, Ross went 7-3 with a 1.06 ERA in 20 games (12 starts).
