Washington Nationals: Wilmer Difo underwhelms in extended opportunity

We take a look at our first position player during our 2018 Report Card series at District on Deck. Wilmer Difo had a prolonged opportunity to impress for the Washington Nationals but failed to grasp the chance with both hands.

The young infielder ended up starting 104 games in 2018 and looked to build on a positive 2017 where he slashed a respectable .271/.319/.370. He was able to open the year seeing a lot of time at second base with Daniel Murphy out, and then at third when Anthony Rendon missed time early on.
