Washington Nationals’ Kyle Schwarber on Davey Martinez’s show of confidence and more...

Kyle Schwarber bristled when his defensive deficiencies in left were mentioned in the first Zoom call he held with reporters in the nation’s capital, after he signed a 1-year/$10M free agent deal in January.

“Everyone likes to look at these numbers and stuff and just bang me on it for some reason,” Schwarber said.

“But I view myself as a good outfielder. You know what ... I’m going to go out there and I’m going to make the play that I need to make. I’m going to play 110%. That’s the way I want to play. I don’t care who’s pitching.
