Adam Eaton tried to get a bunt down on the first pitch he saw from Stephen Strasburg in a sim game in the nation’s capital this morning, in what he said was definitely a competitive at bat against Washington’s 2019 World Series MVP.
“Seeing Strasburg today was on a different level,” Eaton said after the game was over, when he spoke with reporters on a Zoom call from Nationals Park.
“He seems like he is in July form and a lot of us hitters are still in the early stages, so it was a good test for everybody today, and I think those tests — we need more of those, so I’m excited for the days to come.
