WASHINGTON – The ERA for reliever Daniel Hudson is at 6.41 going into the doubleheader on Saturday here with the Mets.
But that was not a big concern for pitching coach Paul Menhart, who noted the velocity was still there for the Virginia native who recorded several big saves – and the last out of the World Series – in the memorable 2019 campaign.
“He did a lot of really good things this year,” Menhart told Federal Baseball on Friday. “We are very excited about having him back.”
Hudson, who played at ODU in Norfolk, won’t start focusing on next year until he has a chance to catch up with his wife and daughters once he gets back home to Arizona.
