Their struggles were expected coming into the season based on the stage of their rebuild and who they were slated to play in the loaded NL East and National League as a whole.

For a while, it seemed like he might not reach the ceiling of being a centerpiece of this Washington franchise. However, despite some low moments, he has looked the part these past couple of years.
