Five inning, 3H, 3K shutout.

Via National Player Development:

Jake Bennett tossed 5.0 innings no-hit innings with three strikeouts and no walks on Saturday.

He has 15 strikeouts and one walk over his last four starts.

His 1.41 ERA (6 ER/33.1 IP) since Aug. 1 ranks third in the Eastern League (min. 30.0 IP).

Turns 25 during the offseason, should be competing for a spot in next year's rotation or at least the pen.

Turns 25 during the offseason, should be competing for a spot in next year's rotation or at least the pen.

AAA depth at the start of the year but one of the first call-ups. Given Sykora's and Susana's injury status, I think Alvarez gets first call if it is early in the year, he;s doing well, and he does not make the Nats out of spring training. then it will be Bennett.

Bennett has to be added to the 40 man roster this winter. That's a no brainer

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Bennett will be on some sort of innings limit. He's gotten in 75 innings this year. Maybe he can get another 15 or so in Arizona, so he could go up to 110-120 or so next year.

Callis ranks Bennett as the #27 prospect in the AFL this year:

Bennett pounded the zone with a 92-95 mph sinker to set up his best offering, a plus mid-80s changeup with significant fade. That formula allowed him to lead the Fall League in strikeouts (25) while ranking second in innings (20) and third in walk rate (2.3 per nine innings) and K/BB ratio (5.0). He posted a 4.50 ERA and could become a No. 4 starter.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Callis ranks Bennett as the #27 prospect in the AFL this year:

I  think we've expected him to be higher in the rotation, but we can be happy with a legit #4 in contrast to Parker.

Farewell Jake, enjoy the lobstah!

Wow.
