Bryce Montes De Oca strikes out the side in dominant Nationals debut

AutoDraft Pro AI

Washington Nationals pitcher Bryce Montes De Oca made a strong impression in his first spring training outing, striking out the side and showcasing a dynamic arsenal including a mid-80s slider and a 98 MPH sinker. The 29-year-old righty missed all of last season due to Tommy John surgery and was signed to a minor league deal, making him a long shot for the roster. However, his dominant performance suggests he could be a factor in the team's bullpen if he maintains this form.
