"Zack Littell had a brutal outing again on Tuesday afternoon for the Nationals, and of course the reaction of Nationals fans everywhere was not a positive one. Littell's reaction was not positive either, as he acknowledged that he feels he is letting the team down."
"He is now 0-4 with a 7.85 ERA and 1.74 WHIP across 6 starts with a 16:11 K:BB ratio, not exactly what you want to see from your most expensive pitcher."
"After giving up a homer to Bo Bichette on the first pitch, Littell gave up a 2-run shot to Juan Soto later on in the game, extending his league lead even further, as he has now given up 13 homers in just 28.2 innings."
"Dating back to 2021, the Nationals have had a pitcher lead the league in homers allowed in every season except for 2024, and that is not the kind of record you want your team to be known for."
The Washington Nationals lost 8-0 to the New York Mets, with Zack Littell struggling significantly on the mound. Littell's record is now 0-4 with a 7.85 ERA and has allowed 13 home runs in 28.2 innings. His performance has disappointed fans and himself, as he feels he is letting the team down. The Nationals have a troubling trend of pitchers leading the league in home runs allowed, with Littell on track to continue this pattern.
