House & Cavalli: Nats' Power Duo Ready for Season

0:00It's March 22nd, you're listening to Washington Nationals News today, AI-powered coverage of your team. I'm Cory with the story. The Washington Nationals wrapped up spring training with two standout prospects, Brady House and Cade Cavalli, both set for their first full big. League seasons. House lit up the Great Fruit League as the team's top hitter, smashing three home runs and six doubles in just 38 at bats. Cavalli earned the opening day start with 14 scoreless innings, 10 strikeouts, and only two walks. House struggled last year with a .574 on base plus, slugging in 73 games, managing just four homers in 200. 61 at bats. This spring though, he looked locked in from day one, crushing two homers in his debut, and driving the ball hard even on outs. As an analyst, see House's power surge as a huge potential boost for the Nats offense, especially with his solid defense at third base to cover any.

Meanwhile, Cavalli overcame Tommy John's surgery and two missed seasons to show dynamic stuff, including fastballs in the mid to upper 90s, a power, curve, and a new sweeper. Cavalli's arsenal stands out in the rotation, generating weak contact and groundballs, making him a breakout favorite over even departed teammate. Mackenzie Gore. Both first round picks from back-to-back drafts, flashed major promise late last season two. With the regular season starting in four days at Rigglyfield, House and Cavalli look prime to deliver, and there'll be two Nats players worth. Watch and closely all year.
