The Washington Nationals have played a maddening brand of baseball recently, with inconsistencies across the board from their lineup, starting rotation, bullpen, and their defense. They are a team that definitely has a lot of flaws, but they do have some bright spots as well.
While the bigger names like James Wood, MacKenzie Gore, CJ Abrams, and even newcomers like Brady House and Daylen Lile have stolen most of the positive headlines with their play this season, there are a handful of other players who have done some great things this year as well. In fact, one of their surprising players is now being rewarded in a big way.
