The first tough outfield decision the Nationals had to make was made on Friday. On Friday, with the Washington Nationals back in action against the Texas Rangers following a disappointing series finale loss to the Chicago Cubs, you may have noticed a familiar face back in the lineup.

There is a lot to like from this 2024 2nd round pick so far. While it has not yet even been a full calendar year since the 2024 MLB Draft, the Washington Nationals should be proud of how some of their top picks have performed so far.
