The Washington Nationals are enjoying a successful Spring Training, currently with a 7-5 record in the Grapefruit League. Players like Keibert Ruiz and Paul DeJong are standing out, with Ruiz hitting two homers in a recent 12-1 victory. Manager Dave Martinez emphasizes the importance of offensive improvement and the challenge players face to impress and secure roster spots. Additionally, staying healthy is crucial as the team's workload increases during this training period. The anticipation builds as the season approaches, with today’s game against the Mets marking a continuing evaluation of player performances.
"They were really good. We got on the fastballs [on Thursday], which was awesome. We worked on it. We talked about it. The boys swung the bats really well again." - Martinez
"I love the way [Michael Soroka] competes. He attacks the strike zone. He's got a mix of four really good pitches. He wants to work ahead..."
"The key is also staying healthy. Players will be ramped up in their workload as Spring Training continues."
