For the Washington Nationals, it's March 1st, here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. Spring training is picking up steam now that it's March, and three Washington Nationals players have stood out early on. Brady House, Riley Cornelio, and Nassim Nunez have shown real promise in their first few games addressing key concerns from last season. Brady House has locked down third base and is raking at the plate after a tough rookie year. He's gone 5-4-11 with four extra base hits, including two homers in his debut against Sandy Alcantara. His contact is consistently hard, often over 100 miles per hour off the bat. Meanwhile, pitcher Riley Cornelio has been lights out on the mound. He averaged over 96 miles per hour on his fastball with a sharp slider, striking out three in two strong innings. His stuff rates in the top 20 among pitchers this spring, boosting his prospect stock after a breakout minor league year. Nassim Nunez looks like a lock for a bench spot, hitting 300 with a 962 on base, plus

slugging mark. He's added power to his elite shortstop defense, driving balls with authority and making highlight plays. Fans are buzzing about shifting him to shortstop over CJ Abrams at times. It's early, but if these three keep it up, they could boost the Nationals lineup and rotation right away. Keep an eye on them as camp rolls on. This story is shared with support from our sponsor.
