Back to EpisodesRISING STAR: Why Daylen Lile Of The Washington Nationals Could Be Baseball's Next Breakout STAR
Description
Daylen Lile emerges as the Washington Nationals’ next breakout star—could he dominate Major League Baseball in 2026? Ryan Clary spotlights Lile’s impressive stats, including a .324 batting average, 10 triples, and elite percentile rankings in speed and exit velocity over the summer. The conversation assesses Lile’s defensive challenges and how the Nationals’ analytically driven player development team aims to unlock his full potential. Competition from Robert Hassell III adds intrigue to the outfield mix. The Nationals acquire Andre Granillo from the St. Louis Cardinals, bolstering bullpen depth with a high-spin slider.
