Washington Nationals: Raudy Read helping Harrisburg offense in August

Right now, one of the weakest positions on the Washington Nationals is catcher. With Matt Wieters and Jose Lobaton having disappointing seasons, fans are looking to see what the organization has at catcher in the future. While Pedro Severino got a chance to catch in the postseason last year, one name to keep an eye on is Raudy Read.

Read has been the catcher this year for Double-A Harrisburg and is on fire at the plate recently. During the month of August, he is hitting .350 with six home run and 11 RBI’s in his last 16 games.
