Virtual Meeting with Jesse Dougherty, March 17, 2021

"The Washington Nationals are built to win the World Series this year!" You heard it here first! Jesse Dougherty joined the Better Sports Club live from West Palm Beach, Florida and the home of Nationals spring training. He expects Victor Robles to be the biggest surprise and is constantly amazed at Juan Soto's abilities.

Jesse is a Washington Nationals beat reporter for The Washington Post, and previously covered college athletics, high school sports and the Washington Capitals. Before joining The Post in February 2017, he briefly covered the NHL for the Los Angeles Times. He recently published Buzz Saw: The Improbable Story of How the Washington Nationals Won the World Series. “You have a great year, and you can run into a buzz saw,” Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg told him after the team advanced to the World Series. “Maybe this year we’re the buzz saw.” Jesse followed the Nationals more closely than any other writer in America.
