While the Chicago Cubs have yet to reveal their Opening Day starting pitcher, the Washington Nationals may have tabbed one of their former first-round picks to get the nod against the Cubs. There has yet to be an official announcement, but the Nationals will reportedly start Cade Cavalli against the Cubs on Opening Day.

If so, it would be just his 12th career appearance, making him one of only three pitchers since 1999 to start Opening Day with 11 or fewer prior MLB games pitched.
