In Spencer Schwellenbach's MLB debut, he held the Nationals scoreless for four innings, nursing a 1-0 lead as he worked around a one-out double in the fourth.
When reminiscing on the above, we can feel positive about the fact that Schwellenbach has come an incredibly long way, seemingly overhauling his entire approach to pitching after his first three career starts.
Schwellenbach wasn't pulled before giving up the game in his first career start because there was still plenty of time left on the schedule to right the ship, and player development was taking a leading role over concern for the standings.
To be honest, none of this is surprising, and I don't have to tell this story through the lens of Spencer Schwellenbach's rookie season, though it makes the narrative richer.
