Griffin Plays Chess on the Mound

Foster Griffin is dominating the mound like a chess grandmaster, deploying seven pitches with surgical precision to shut down hitters. In his first full season as a starter, he tossed seven innings, allowing just one run on three hits and two walks while striking out nine — tying his career high. Throwing 112 pitches, the most by a Nationals starter in months, he leaned on his signature cutter but surprised everyone by using his changeup more than any other secondary pitch. His stellar performance helped spark a much-needed offensive explosion and broke a four-game losing streak, proving he’s one of the league’s most strategic and dangerous starters.
