WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Nationals have not been able to advance in the postseason in four tries, let alone win a World Series.
But one of their former pitching prospects won his first World Series ring last season with the Houston Astros, who share a spring training facility here with Washington.
Brad Peacock, a native of Palm Beach who grew up in nearby Wellington, was drafted by the Nationals in the 41st round in 2006 out of Palm Beach Community College.
He came through the Washington minor league system and made his big league debut in three games with the Nationals in 2011.
