"I'm a starter. I came here to start. I had some other offers that were going to let me start. ... I think over the last 2 1/2 years, I've kind of proven that I can start and belong in the rotation. So the opportunity was presented here, and it's definitely what I wanted to do."
The Washington Nationals acquired pitcher Zack Littell, who will make his first start less than two weeks before Opening Day with only two additional starts to prepare. Questions remain about whether he can build sufficient stamina to reach a 70-80 pitch count in his regular season debut. The game lacks broadcast coverage, with only the MLB Gameday App available for viewing. Littell expressed his commitment to starting, noting he has proven his ability over 2.5 years and chose the Nationals specifically for the starting opportunity. The bullpen features intense competition among multiple candidates including Rule-5 pickup Griff McGarry, with approximately 13 pitchers competing for eight roster spots. The Nationals maintain a strong 11-4 Spring Training record through 18 games.
