Washington Nationals’ Paul Menhart on what it took to get here; keeping pitchers sharp as possible while baseball was shut down...

Davey Martinez told reporters earlier this week that he was pleasantly surprised by what he saw from the Washington Nationals’ pitchers early in Spring Training 2.0, and he said it was a result of the hard work they all put in while baseball was shut down following the decision to end Spring Training 1.0 in mid-March.

Early in Spring Training 2.0, Martinez said, all the pitchers looked sharp, even after close to four months off before they all gathered back in the nation’s capital to prepare for the MLB season they’re all going to try to pull off amidst an ongoing pandemic.
