I believe he signed as a 16 year old. People were all over his nuts for a little while. He then started to suck for a few years and was forgotten about. Good to see him turn things around.
The biggest mistake Washington made last night was not going to Nathan after Gones doubled. Pedey is hitting .380 against LHP this year. Having that jagoff pitch to the 3-4-5 guys with a runner on 2nd and no outs was a no win situation.
