Rookie Brandon Sproat (0-1, 2.25 ERA) will get his third start of the year on Friday. The 25-year-old has shown competence in capping hard contact, limiting opposing hitters to an average exit velocity of 86.2 mph in 10 IP.
His 3.29 xERA suggests he’s due for regression.
The Nationals haven’t been able to generate runs at a consistent rate all year, but they ironically are one of the more powerful contact clubs; Washington ranks within the top 10 in both hard-hit percentage and exit velocity.
