Zack Littell Joins Nationals Rotation to Provide Veteran Stability

The Washington Nationals bolstered their starting rotation by signing veteran Zack Littell to a new deal. Once fully built up, Littell is expected to slot in as the team's number two starter behind Cade Cavalli. A former reliever who found success as a starter with the Rays, Littell relies on a command-heavy approach and increased splitter usage. His arrival creates a crowded rotation battle, putting pressure on younger arms like Jake Irvin and Josiah Gray to perform this spring.
