WASHINGTON - In a normal minor league season, pitcher Cade Cavalli would perhaps be winding up a stint in the New York-Penn League or the Gulf Coast League in the Nationals’ system.
Instead, the first-round pick from June has been able to be around pitchers with Major League experience at the alternate site in Fredericksburg as part of the 60-player pool.
Among the pitchers who have gone from the alternate site to the Nationals are Dakota Bacus and Ben Braymer.
Cavalli, 22, is probably years away from being a Major League regular.
