The oddity of being left-handed, like only 10 percent of the population, is the main bond behind a batch of Washington Nationals relievers. The foursome has been left-hand dominant throughout their lives, eventually leading them to a lucrative career of getting hitters out.
That’s where most of the commonalities for the group end. Oliver Perez, Sammy Solis, Enny Romero and Matt Grace have careening paths to this point and large variations between them, ranging from age to pitch selections. Beyond the hand they throw with, they hope to share one other thing in three weeks: a spot on the postseason roster.
