Known for his electric stuff — a mid-90s fastball with a whiff rate over 30% and a nasty slider — Herz showed flashes of brilliance in 2024, including a 13-K outing. While his control has historically been a concern, this outing signals a promising return. The Nationals now face a strategic decision: could Herz thrive in a multi-inning relief role, or will he need a gradual ramp-up through the minors? With other young arms recovering, the future of Washington’s pitching staff looks brighter than ever. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
