This overlooked free agent could help fix the Nationals' biggest weakness
"Domínguez, 31, is coming off a strong 2025 season. His stuff jumps off the page. Domínguez sits in the upper 90s with his fastball and can touch 100. His Statcast metrics were elite almost across the board. The exception, and it's a big one, is control. He walked 13.8% of the batters he faced in 2025, which ranked in the 1st percentile leaguewide."
"His unusual full name, Seranthony, came from something his parents once heard on TV, and they gave his brother the equally unique name Chrisanthony. Domínguez debuted with the Phillies in 2018 and made the Baseball America All-Rookie Team after an exceptional first season. He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2020 but has been durable in the years since. When he's on, he can dominate. He has a 3.50 ERA in 322 games, with 360 strikeouts, 40 saves and 306 innings pitched."
Seranthony Domínguez is a hard-throwing right-handed reliever who posted a 3.16 ERA across 67 appearances in 2025 with 79 strikeouts in 62.2 innings. He was traded from the Orioles to the Blue Jays in July and worked high-leverage innings, making 12 postseason appearances including the World Series. His fastball sits in the upper 90s and can reach 100 mph, and Statcast rated his whiff rate, expected batting average, velocity and strikeout rate among the league's best. Chronic control problems persist, with a 13.8% walk rate in 2025. He has a 3.50 career ERA, 360 strikeouts, 40 saves and 306 career innings.
