It may have been brief, but Nationals prospect Anthony Rendon said his nearly two-week stint with the parent club gave him a glimpse of his future. The 22-year-old Rendon, widely considered the team's top prospect, was sent back to Double-A Harrisburg Friday after Ryan Zimmerman was activated from the disabled list.
"It was awesome," he told The Washington Post. "I think it’s been a good experience. I got a taste of what it’s going to be like ... and I know what to work on when I go back and I know what to look forward to if I get to come back."
After having one hit in his first three games, Rendon reached base in his final four outings and finished with a .240 batting average.
"He's done very well in the field and he’s had some awfully good at-bats," manager Davey Johnson said. "It’s not going to be long before he’s back here. He’s a good player."
