Their young lineup, led by James Wood and CJ Abrams, is excelling, particularly against left-handed pitchers. The Nationals, who previously struggled against lefties, now boast the second-best weighted runs created plus of 119. Players like Joey Wiemer, Brady House, Nasim Nunez, and Curtis Mead are excelling against lefties, turning a weakness into a strength and propelling the Nationals into one of baseballs top offenses.
