Well the Nats finished the season in fine fashion winning their last three (meaningless) games. Decent showing by pitching for all three.
Bats surely woke up in the season finale with 15 runs on 11 hits, including a grand slam by Trea Turner.
Juan Soto wins the batting title with best average in the NL and becomes the youngest player in history to do so. Pretty impressive. Seems like a really good kid, lets hope he stays that way.
And this kid
....the proven best hitter in baseball was due to make $629K on a 2-way contractHe actually collected $233,111 with the shortened season.
Trea Turner is also a big bright spot this year with continued improvement at the plate
Stephenson has been on a tear since his call up - another 2 hits in the final game leaving him with a .366 average for the "year" - over a limited number of games (41 at bats)
The Nats have a lot of guys on league minimum pay which is about $563k per year, but with the shortened season, some of them made very little.
Paulo Espina (Who?...yeah, I know) pitched in 2 games for a total of 6.0 innings pitched for the Nats this season (started one) and made $21,805 this year.
Max pitched in twelve games this season for a total of 67.1 Innings pitched and collected $17,801,286. Not too shabby. Granted, he is one of the best pitchers in baseball. That's about $265k per inning
Juan Soto (who IS THE BEST HITTER in baseball) played in 42 games this season and won the batting title made $233,111 for the season
Max Scherzer was paid more for one inning of pitching this season than Juan Soto earned in 42 games
Meanwhile, Strasburg makes $35mil (and pitched 5 innings this year)....(although with the covid season they all had adjusted pay.) And I really don't know how/if they pay a guy on IRalthough it appears he made $8,730,159 of his $35,000,000 salary this "season"
$8,730,159 for 5 innings.....is $1,746,032 per inning.....$582,010 per out. I could not find how many pitches he threw this year otherwise I would tell you how much he made per pitch
Max is a full 26.4 % of the Nats total salary this season. Strasburg was 12.95% (for his 5 innings of work)
Juan Soto was about 1/3 of 1%
Espino was .03 of 1 %
Nats need to step up and ink Soto to a long term deal before he's unaffordable
Oh, and Philthy did not make the WC spot....muchly to do with three losses to the Nats in the last week of the season.
Well, that's all folks. The season is done. What to do in the boredom thread now
Hey! Anybody know when the Stanley Cup Finals start?
