The Washington Nationals have encountered a challenging start to their season, facing tough matchups against previous World Series teams and the Toronto Blue Jays, ultimately finishing with a 5-7 record. They are heading into a grueling 10-game stretch without a break, emphasizing the importance of maintaining player performance and defense. Paul DeJong currently leads MLB in defensive metrics, an achievement indicative of the team's overall focus on improving defense. General Manager Mike Rizzo acknowledged the solid starting pitching and defense as key constants contributing to the team's ongoing performance improvement.
The [two] constants have been the starting pitching has been solid, and our defense has been solid." said Mike Rizzo on The Sports Junkies radio show on 106.7 The Fan.
Last year, TalkNats brilliantly spoke about moving in the direction of fixing the broken defense, and that in turn would make the pitching perform better - and we are already seeing that happen in real-time.
