The Washington Nationals prospects squared off with the Mets farmhands in the Spring Breakout game. These showcases are a very fun idea that the MLB has come up with. It allows fans to see prospects they normally don’t have a chance to see. Here are some things I saw from the game today.
The Nationals starter Alex Clemmey looked very good. His stuff looked crisp with a fastball that was in the 95-97 MPH range and he mixed in some nasty breaking balls. The left hander struck out six in his three innings of work. It looked like he featured two different breaking balls, with a curve in the low to mid 80’s and a slider in the mid to upper 80’s.
