Brzykcy has emerged as arguably the most promising reliever in the Nationals' system.

Brzykcy — pronounced BRICK-see — has ridden that fastball on a rapid climb up the Nationals’ system. He throws a change-up and a curveball, too, though he used his four-seamer about 70 percent of the time in 2022, when he started with the high Class A Wilmington Blue Rocks and finished with two appearances for the Class AAA Rochester Red Wings, one call away from the majors.

Before last season, the Nationals hired David Longley as their first director of technology and strategy in player development. This winter, Longley is hiring a performance associate at each affiliate, meaning there will be even more conversations about using data to grow. The “Really it’s just an education process for players and coaches and everybody in the industry,” said Justin Lord, Harrisburg’s pitching coach in 2022. “Just to understand what the technology and information means, how to use it. We don’t force it on these guys and [you] have to know your player and how much they need and also how much they want — and find out what is useful and effective. Some guys, like Zach, want more than others, and that’s okay.
