Washington Nationals News: Stephen Strasburg relying more on slider, and it’s working

Good evening DoD readers, and welcome to today’s District Daily. Get caught up on the latest Nats news and opinions with some great Washington Nationals articles from around the web below.

In today’s Daily, the Washington Post’s James Wagner discusses Stephen Strasburg’s use of the slider this season. As Wagner notes, Strasburg has been using it more often in 2016, and the addition to his arsenal has already rewarded the right-hander.

As Wagner notes, Strasburg is using his slider far more this season than he has over the last two years. The right-hander has seen great success with the pitch, and it’s one of the reasons why he’s been one of the best pitchers in the National League this season.
