Bleier, 37 next month, is looking to get to the majors for a ninth straight year. Despite well below-average velocity, he has managed a sub-3.00 ERA in five of his eight MLB campaigns.
In 30 2/3 frames across 27 appearances, the Florida Gulf Coast product allowed 5.28 earned runs per nine. His 55.2% ground-ball rate was still well higher than average, but opponents did an uncharacteristic amount of damage when they did manage to get the ball in the air.
Washington's bullpen skews heavily to the right side. The Nats have Kyle Finnegan, Hunter Harvey, Jordan Weems, Tanner Rainey and offseason pickup Dylan Floro locked into bullpen roles. All those players throw right-handed. Lefty options include Robert Garcia.
