Washington Nationals: Will Ryan Zimmerman Bounce Back In 2017?

Last year was a tough season for Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman. While he played in over 100 games for the first time since 2013, the 32-year-old first baseman hit only .218, drove in 46 RBI’s, and had a -1.1 WAR (according to ESPN).

Heading into 2017, there are more questions than answers surrounding Zimmerman. He has three more years left on his contract with a $18 million team option for 2020. Zimmerman isn’t going to be taken out of the starting lineup anytime soon since it is known Dusty Baker likes to play the veterans.
