Nationals Flagging RISP Struggles Despite MLB-Best Offense
Washington leads the majors in runs and home runs but has recently shown signs of pressing with runners in scoring position.
The Nationals currently rank first in MLB in both runs scored and home runs. Despite that overall offensive production, the team has recently struggled in situational hitting with runners in scoring position.

The concern is a potential soft spot in an otherwise elite offense that could affect close-game outcomes.
