The Washington Nationals are preparing for Opening Day with a notably younger roster, indicating a shift from previous seasons filled with veteran presence. Clubhouse staff noted a decrease in travel baggage, reflecting the reduced personal belongings of younger players. Veterans like Trevor Williams emphasized the maturity of these younger athletes despite their age, suggesting they are ready to face expectations. The performance of young players during spring training was strong, with several posting impressive statistics. Overall, the team's fortunes are expected to hinge on its youthful core as they head into the new season.
"Yeah, it doesn't feel young. There's a lot of guys that they might be young in their careers, but they're mature on the field."
"Excess baggage comes as players grow older, start families, collect more (and more) stuff. It was a lighter trip back to Nationals Park."
