Will Ohman has pitched in the majors for 10 years so he knows how things work in spring training. But we’re not quite sure that even he was ready for what happened to him on Sunday.
Ohman pitched in the sixth inning of the National’s Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals on Sunday where he gave up two hits and two walks.
Afterwards, Ohman was informed that he would be cut and reassigned to the Nationals’ minor league camp. But unlike most situations, “afterwards” didn’t mean after the game. In this particular situation, Ohman was given the news while the game, which he had just pitched in, was still going on.
Will Ohman, who pitched the sixth inning today, was cut before the game ended. Tough day at the office.
