Josiah Gray has been named the Washington Nationals' Opening Day starter for the 2024 season, marking a significant milestone for the 26-year-old pitcher. This decision breaks the tradition of having Scherzer, Strasburg, or Corbin as the Opening Day starter since 2011. Despite issuing 7 walks in a recent game, Gray managed to allow only 1 run in 4 1/3 innings.
I wonder how hard he’s been throwing ball four tho https://t.co/pQeWFlzDBC

Josiah Gray will start on Opening Day for the Nationals, via Davey Martinez. Huge accomplishment for Gray, 26, who made 30 starts and pitched to a sub-4 ERA last season. And good for the Nats to turn the page from Corbin getting the nod as elder statesman.
