Cade Cavalli

The Nats got another win in West Palm Beach. Here is what went down and some thoughts from Cade Cavalli and Blake Butera

Cavalli has not yet allowed a run this spring and threw 68 percent strikes in this one, which is great news given his previous command concerns. However, he only produced a 12 percent whiff rate, which is not ideal. However, the 27-year-old former top prospect will be the Nationals' Opening Day starter and has intriguing raw stuff, so he could be worth a late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts. Just don't hold onto him too long if he starts the season slow.

The Nationals announced Wednesday that Cavalli will start the team's March 26 season opener versus the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

The St. Louis Cardinals will travel to the Spring Training home of the Washington Nationals on Wednesday, March 11. According to MLB.com, Dustin May will get another start for the Cardinals while Cade Cavalli will take the mound for the Nationals. Here s the starting lineup according to the St. Louis Cardinals website:

It did not come as a surprise, but Blake Butera and the Nats made Cade Cavalli their Opening Day starter
