This team has been turned around more than most teams in the league. It seems that every few weeks, there is very much a new look to the team whether it is in the bullpen, bench, or fielding.

"This is perhaps the least obscure of all, but bad nonetheless. The only team worse on defense in the MLB has been the Angels. The Nationals have rated -52.7 on defense this season. This means that defense alone, the team has allowed almost 53 more runs per game than the MLB average. Total Home Runs Achieved The best way to break out a multi-run inning is by hitting home runs."
The Nationals hold a 56-83 record and have undergone frequent roster changes that create inconsistent lineups and roles. Defensive rating sits at -52.7, indicating roughly 53 more runs allowed than the MLB average due to defense alone. Power production is weak with 126 home runs in 133 games, below the league average near 150. Pitching struggles include a 4.69 FIP (third-worst) and 7.83 K/9 (fourth-worst), with only Mackenzie Gore posting a starter K rate above 20% at 27.7%. Left-on-base metrics indicate difficulty stranding runners in high-leverage situations.
