Brady House

Daylen Lile and Brady House hit back-to-back homers in the second to account for the Nationals' runs. Perez was pretty much untouchable otherwise, generating whiffs on 14 of 25 swings and finishing with a 42% CSW. He topped out at 100.6 mph and averaged 99.0 mph with his fastball, which is 1.1 mph better than his 2025 average.

Brady House, Riley Cornelio and Nasim Nunez have stood out so far this spring for the Nationals

It is a big year for Brady House, especially at the plate. He made a big statement in his first game of Spring Training

House went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins.

Alcantara needed 28 pitches to get his three outs, ruling him out for a second inning in his spring debut. The damage came on a Brady House homer after a single and a walk. Alcantara averaged 96.3 mph with his fastball, down 1.4 mph from his 2025 norm. That's acceptable for a spring opener, though.
