Since the beginning of this month, we have been looking back at the first Washington Nationals team to play their home games at Nats Park. For today, we take a look at starting pitcher Odalis Perez, who played one season with the Washington Nationals (2008).
Before coming to D.C, Perez pitched nine seasons with three different teams (Braves, Dodgers, and Royals). He was the third ranked prospect in the Braves system in 1999 (according to Baseball America). Three years later, he made his lone All-Star team with the Dodgers in a season in which he went 15-10 and threw 222.
