Jeremy Hellickson Returns To Nationals
6 years agoThe Washington Nationals re-signed starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson to a one-year, $1.3 million deal on Wednesday. With incentives, the total amount of the deal could reach $4 million. Hellickson, 32 in April, was solid in Washington last year (5-3, 3.45 ERA, 1.07 WHIP), but he made just 19 starts due to injury. He's merely a back-end rotation option and isn't attractive to those in mixed leagues because of his lack of strikeouts (6.6 career K/9 in nine seasons). Hellickson will strictly be an NL-only depth piece if he wins a spot at the back of the rotation.
