Kent's Rise to Nationals Debut | MLB News

The Nationals just called up 23-year-old pitcher Jackson Kent for his major league debut — and he’s already making waves. Rising fast from Double-A to Triple-A, Kent relies on a fastball, slider, and changeup, with advanced metrics proving his effectiveness: strikeouts, chase rates, ground balls, and low walks. He started strong in the minors, even rebounded from injury, and now boasts a mid-90s fastball — though velocity dips can hurt him. His intelligence on the mound could be his secret weapon. If he translates his minor league dominance to the majors, Kent might become a cornerstone starter — and a bright spot for the Nationals’ future.
