It’s into week three of our 2018 Report Card series at District on Deck, as we continue to dive into the Washington Nationals roster. Next in the spotlight is Justin Miller, who couldn’t have had more of a Jekyll and Hyde season if he tried.
He initially got the call-up in late May after a sensational nine-game stint with the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs. He struck out 23 in 13.2 scoreless innings for the Chiefs, then carried that into the majors with 21 strikeouts in 10.2 innings during his first eight games.
He wound up finishing the season with a 7-1 record to go with an ERA of 3.
