Auburn left-handed pitcher Peyton Glavine signed a free-agent contract with the Washington Nationals Monday.
Glavine becomes the seventh member of the 2021 team to enter professional baseball, including the third to join the Nationals. Ryan Bliss, Richard Fitts, Tyler Miller, and Steven Williams were drafted last week, while Cody Greenhill and Jack Owen have also signed free-agent contracts.
A native of Alpharetta, Georgia, Glavine made 29 career appearances and two starts in the orange and blue, striking out 44 batters in 39.0 career innings pitched.
Glavine saved his best for last as he registered career bests in ERA, appearances, strikeouts, and innings in 2021. The southpaw nearly tripled his strikeout total and quadrupled his innings total in his final season.
