SAN DIEGO -- In each of the past four years, the Nationals have selected a pitcher with their first pick in the MLB Draft. Will they continue that trend this year, when they are on the board at No. 11, or will they go with a position player?

That question will be answered this weekend.

Voth looks back on call from Nationals
Nearly 10 years has flown by for right-hander Austin Voth, who was selected by the Nationals in the fifth round of the 2013 Draft.

“The Brewers and the Mariners were like the main teams that were kind of interested in me,” Voth recalled on Thursday from Petco Park. “The Nationals kind of came out of nowhere.”

Voth was at his home in Washington state when he received a call from the Nationals on the second day of the Draft.

“I had my laptop open and the Draft pulled up,” Voth said. “I remember getting a call from the Nationals saying, would I sign for slot? I said yes, and then maybe it was a round later they ended up picking me. My whole family eventually came over, and we celebrated.”

Four seasons into his Major League career, Voth has 52 appearances with the Nationals under his belt.
