Daniel Hudson Could See High-Leverage Innings
4 years agoWashington Nationals pitcher Daniel Hudson could see his fair share of high-leverage situations in 2021, although Brad Hand is the expected closer. The veteran right-hander has had a rough spring with an 11.12 ERA through six appearances but his K-BB of 5-1 in 5.2 innings gives some hope. Hudson's biggest issue has been the homers and he's allowed three this spring. Last season, he was also hindered by the long ball and he allowed six in 20.2 innings but also whiffed 28. Along with Hudson, Tanner Rainey and Will Harris (finger numbness) are in line for high-leverage situations but Harris has been dealing with health issues. If he can keep the ball in the park, Hudson is worth a flyer in deep leagues.
