Nationals Draft Outlook Under New Leadership | MLB News
Description
The Nationals are poised for a breakout draft under new president Paul Toboni, aiming to unearth their next superstar with the 11th pick. Since 2020, they’ve unearthed gems like 19-year-old pitcher Miguel Sime Jr., whose electric fastball and nasty breaking ball are making waves despite control hiccups. Second-round pick Ethan Petry is crushing the ball with 13 homers, primed for a corner or first base role. Seaver King’s resurgence is nearing an MLB debut, while Brad Lord — an 18th-round steal from 2022 — has become a key bullpen arm. Travis Sykora, a 2023 third-rounder, shows ace potential despite a 2026 injury setback. And don’t forget Eli Willits, the 2024 1 pick, already a top-tier prospect blending elite hitting with emerging power. This is the Nationals’ year to build.
