Lee also appreciates learning from pitchers who are navigating the early stages of their careers just like he is. For those varying but equally valuable insights, he highlighted his conversations last season with multifaceted veteran pitcher Paolo Espino and third-year starter Josiah Gray.nn“\[Paolo and I\] were both kind of swingmen trying to help the team and do multiple roles,” Lee said. “And then Josiah, just as a starter and a younger guy that I can really relate to, he was very helpful, especially early on when I \[got\] called up.”nnLee appeared in one Spring Training game before being reassigned to Minor League camp. His scoreless inning against the Yankees on March 1 included one hit, one strikeout and one walk across 19 pitches (11 strikes). The Nationals will continue to keep a close eye on his progress as they assess their needs in a right-hander-heavy bullpen that does not yet include a lock for a southpaw.nn“I would really like to have a lefty,” Martinez said. “In a perfect world, two lefties would be great, because then you could do things early and late.
