I have seen him pitch and impressed, lots of composure and has been groomed to perfection. Midlo is correct, it was a great investment.

The Nationals are pretty smart, this has been planned for a while, to pitch against one of the worst teams in baseball, it didn't happen by chance. The better hitters he sees the more patient, and then the strike zone he was allowed will get a bit tougher.

This is a great thing for baseball, this is a great thing for the Nats, who have had poor attendance records. They deserve this attention.

However, IMO, it's not about the first game you play but the last, longevity will make him famous, and I do hope that he has a long and successful career.

Will be interesting to see if he goes into the famous sophmore slump many young pitchers seem to have. That happens after those better hitters figure you out.

Now strike out against Albert a few times and you got me convinced 100%.
