"He has now started 11 games since July, and he has been consistently performing above expectation. Lord has only had 3 of those games mark 4+ earned runs, and 5 games of 3+ earned runs. Though recording zero shutouts, Lord did have four starts of 1 earned run, or less. He also went 5+ innings in seven of his eleven starts in that time. These are all great, consistent numbers."
"Of core Nationals starters, Lord also comfortably marks out as the 2nd best in ERA at 4.18. This number may even be lower if it did not factor in a few rough starts at the beginning of the year. The next best is Cade Cavalli (8 Starts) at a 4.76 ERA, and then Mike Soroka at 4.87, who has since been traded."
"Lord focuses on his fastball, complimenting it with an 18% right-winding sinker, and a nice offspeed slider. He will also mix in the changeup as a 13% pitch. This is an arsenal that works very well. When the fastball is up in the zone and accurate, that sinker can either get mixed in to throw off the batter, or the offspeed gets them spinning."
