Washington will spend around $96 million on its rotation in 2019. Five arms have to make that investment worth it.
Stephen Strasburg, Max Scherzer and Patrick Corbin head up the Nationals' scary 2019 rotation. By Jesse Dougherty Jesse Dougherty Reporter covering the Washington Nationals. Email Bio Follow March 23 at 7:00 AM WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Mike Rizzo has the Washington Nationals’ blueprint broken into one-year, three-year and five-year plans, all laid out in his office at the team’s ballpark by the Navy Yard waterfront.
“The expectations are huge for this staff,” Nationals pitching coach Derek Lilliquist said. “Any team needs their starting horses to be horses, and we are really going to need that.” “It was all about the fastball, when to use it, how to use it, how to spot it, how to command it better and build off it,” said Crowe, wide-eyed as he recalled the conversations. “I mean, being around those guys is like getting a PhD in pitching.”
“This is an established group, so it’s not like I’m going to come in here and teach them all new pitches,” said veteran catcher Yan Gomes, who joined the team with Kurt Suzuki this offseason. “It’s such a great staff that you just want to fit in in a way that works best for them.” “I think it’s more so that I enjoy watching their bullpens and the stuff they do in between the games,” Strasburg said this month."Those are the things you don’t really get to see when you are on the other team.”
