Jarlin Susana is putting in WORK in the Arizona Fall League ☀️ 🌵 The Nationals righthander (BA's No. 51 prospect) has eight strikeouts and one earned run allowed through 5.2 IP so far this fall. Additionally, the 103.8 mph fastball Susana threw in his first AFL start was the fastest pitch thrown in the league's history 🔥 BA's AFL Hot Sheet: buff.ly/cupyRV7

Cade Cavalli's breakout season continues 👏 He's the first Washington pitcher to reach 200 Ks in a season since Patrick Corbin, Max Scherzer, and Stephen Strasburg all hit 200+ for the 2019 World Champion @Nationals!
