Ace Reese Could Be Nationals’ Draft Pick | Washington Nationals News

Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description

The MLB Draft is heating up, and Ace Reese of Mississippi State is now the top projected pick for the Nationals—shifting focus from high schooler Jared Grindlinger. Reese’s two stellar SEC seasons—hitting .350 with 21 homers his freshman year, then .336 with 24 homers last year—showcase elite power and contact ability. While his tendency to chase pitches raises questions, his hit tool and potential for a .260 average with 30 homers make him a tantalizing middle-of-the-order bat. Comparisons to last year’s draft pick Ethan Petry highlight his upside, though some analysts favor alternatives like Chris Hacopian or Tyler Bell. With draft day near, Reese’s blend of power, polish, and potential could be exactly what the Nationals need.
