Washington Nationals’ hitting coach Kevin Long on Victor Robles, adjustments Robles made; Andrew McCutchen comps + more...

Washington Nationals’ hitting coach Kevin Long talked at length when he met with reporters at Winterfest in early December about what he saw from outfielder Victor Robles in the final month of the 2018 campaign, once the 21-year-old came up to the majors. Robles suffered a hyperextension of his left elbow four games in at Triple-A Syracuse last April, but worked his way back to play another 21 games for the Nationals, giving him 34 games total going into a 2019 campaign in which he’s expected to be the Opening Day center fielder.
