TRACK RECORD: When German began his professional career, he had little ability to throw strikes. He walked eight in 4.1 innings in the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League in 2015, but Nationals pitching coaches have helped him move in the right direction with his big arm. It has been a sudden rise for German, who didn't sign until he was 20 and spent half of his age-23 season at short-season Auburn before finally reaching low Class A Hagerstown.
SCOUTING REPORT: German throws a 95 mph fastball and a plus slider. He's working on mixing in changeups against lefthanded hitters. German's control has improved to the point where he averaged 1.93 walks per nine innings in 2019 and walked only one batter in 13 innings in Double-A, but he still needs to show more command.
THE FUTURE: German saved 12 games over three levels last season. He'll be given late-inning opportunities again and has a chance to eventually work his way into a major league bullpen.
