The Washington Nationals have formally announced their decision to exercise the $16 million club option on left handed hurler Sean Doolittle, according to the Washington Post’s Chelsea Janes.

Doolittle had a career year in 2018 as the primary closer for the Nats, posting an impressive 1.60 ERA over 45 innings in the key role, with 25 saves that are highlighted by a jaw dropping 60-to-6 K/BB ratio over that span of time.

Doolittle was easily one of the league’s best this season, so the move is a no brainer for Washington.
