Matt Capps is the lone representative for the Washington Nationals in the All-Star Game
26-year old closer Matt Capps has made his first All-Star Team. He has pitched in 38 games (0 starts) for the Nationals this season and he is 2-3 with 22 saves, a 3.19 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. Capps has given up 44 hits in 36 2/3 innings so he’s not a dominating, slam the door type of closer but he usually gets the job done. His pinpoint control is often a huge asset for him as he has only walked 7 batters this year. Capps has pitched pretty well for the Nationals this season and he deserves to be a All-Star.
