The 2014 Washington Nationals enjoyed an outstanding season, finishing with a 96-66 record to secure the National League East title and the best record in the National League. Under first-year manager Matt Williams, who earned NL Manager of the Year honors, the team featured a dominant pitching staff and a potent lineup led by Silver Slugger winners Ian Desmond and Anthony Rendon. The campaign was highlighted by several historic moments, including Jordan Zimmermann throwing the first no-hitter in team history on the final day of the regular season and the club achieving two separate ten-game winning streaks. The first overall pick in the 2010 MLB Draft, Bryce Harper was a generational talent for the Washington Nationals who earned six All-Star selections, the 2012 NL Rookie of the Year award, and the 2015 NL MVP during his dominant seven-season tenure with the franchise.
