The 2019 baseball season is officially over after a dramatic World Series that saw the Washington Nationals win their franchise’s first title. The underdog Nationals used dominant starting pitching and clutch hitting to advance in the playoffs against historically good opponents.
Starting pitching was certainly the key ingredient for the Nationals successful run, with San Diego native and Aztec Alum Stephen Strasburg leading a staff that included 4 top-shelf starters. Though not all the starters had the same consistency as Strasburg in the tournament, they all had dominant moments that helped them win when it mattered the most.
