Jake Irvin Might Have The 2nd Highest Ceiling For Washington Nationals Starting Pitchers

Jake Irvin goes out there every 5 days, and just shoves. He went 6IP yesterday and struck out 10 Atlanta Braves as the Nats couldn't provide any run support. Is it fair to say Jake Irvin has the 2nd highest ceiling amongst Nats starting pitchers? We take a trip down to the minor leagues as Andry Lara has stepped up his game immensely, and is starting to turn heads in the system. On that same track, Jarlin Susana has struggled in a big way in 2024. Lastly, we preview MacKenzie Gore starting against a stacked Braves lineup.

Trey Lipscomb is on a TEAR in AAA, what are the odds we get him back in the majors? -- Shift Senzel to first and demote Gallo?? idk, but I was sad to see him get demoted and would love to see his .350 avg in AAA get rewarded

[@larryking1108]

How much 💰 we're in for Gallo...?

[@sickboy703]

Good chance we have 4 of our 5 starters for the future. Not bad at all.

[@lymedoc9620]

Thanks Ryan. Very informative as usual. Interesting how both Irving & Parker just blossomed once they hit the majors. Both complement Gore quite well. I wish we could develop a top reliever! I was really impressed with the Oakland relievers. Is Sykora projected to develop along that line?

[@Dr.8803]

Sykora has front rotation potential, his fast ball hits 101 MPH, has two other really good pitchers.

[@lymedoc9620]

@@Dr.8803 Right. As I understand it, his secondary pitches have a ways to go. That might make his ceiling Noah Syndergaard rather than Garrit Cole, which would still be pretty damn good! I’ll take it!!

[@Dr.8803]

Jake Irvin is much better than Grey, lets be honest the only reason Josiah was an all star, was because each team is required to have one, its not because he was all star material. And he was horrible the second half of that season.

[@sickboy703]

Grey is the only starter I trust less than Corbin.
