As we get ready to turn the page to the 2021 baseball season, I have one wish I’d like achieved by any member of the Nationals pitching staff.

Given a 162 game season in 2021, my wish is to see a Washington Nationals pitcher reach the 20 win plateau. I’m old school though, and while wins for a starting pitcher may not effectively measure his worth to a team, I love tracking them.
