Voth finally began to develop a feel for his changeup last season, giving him the third pitch he feels he'll need to be successful in the majors, The Washington Post reports. "I've always had the change-up," Voth said, "but it's never been that good."
He's never been a scout's darling as his fastball tops out at 92 mph, but much like Tanner Roark before him, Voth has been effective as he's made his way rung by rung up the ladder in the Nats' farm system. The 24-year-old right-hander looked good in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets, tossing 1.2 shutout innings while striking out three including Jay Bruce and Lucas Duda, and with Max Scherzer's finger issue leaving his Opening Day status in question, Voth could well find himself as the team's fifth starter coming out of camp -- a role that would make him worth a late-round dart or reserve pick in NL-only formats.
