Nats Minor Leagues

Nats fan from DC to the complex leagues.

Jackson Kent truther and leader of the “make Richmond the Nats AAA team” movement.

@sammyg2121 Organizational depth pieces turn into MLB contributors, get 2 ~20ish prospects from a system. A return a little better than the Alex call trade and give the system some depth with minor league arms, maybe a catcher and it’s a great trade. Dbacks system lines up well

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

Starting to think the Nats trade Luis Garcia at the deadline. Valueable contact bat who is now a right side of the infield utility piece.

Has some value for a contender and no future in DC. Think we could flip him for an orgs 10-15th prospect and another depth piece.

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

@The_DC_Bob Think it’s pretty realistic. Toboni has mentioned he wants to build a machine of an org and unfortunately Luis just isn’t a player on a WS caliber team.

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

Will post mock trades tomorrow, but right now think Nats trade Luis Garcia to the Dbacks and Foster Griffin to the Cubs.

Lets Abimelec Ortiz get reps at 1st base and see if he’s a part of the future. Then Andrew Alvarez/Jackson Kent/Luis Perales, maybe even Cornelio as SP.

Eriq Swan with a rehab game in the FCL this morning. Only went 1IP allowing 1H and 2ks.

One of my more underrated arms in the system. Would be rly excited to see him healthy and develop under this staff.

Think he could be in DC as soon as next year out of the BP.

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

@TheNatsReport Was much appreciated, actually one of the things that made me think of this honestly. He looked good as well. Just surprised 0 word on Susana for his “Lat” injury

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

No disrespect to anyone covering the Nats. But I can’t help but feel there could be improved reporting of injuries.

Susana, Sykora, Hertz could very legitimately make up 3/5 rotation spots next August and yet very little on their progress back from injuries until hertz today.

@TalkNats 1B/OF - Petry move?? Please

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

First start in full season ball for Marlon De La Cruz in Fredericksburg tonight.

Has dealt in the FCL this year 12IP, 12ks, with a 0.75ERA and 1.08WHIP, although he’s already 20.

Will be fun to see how he throws and have a new name to track if he keeps up the pace!

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

@ajflax If DJ herz is dicing up guys in Rochester and I have to watch miles mikolas every 5 days I’ll be questioning my fanhood

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

DJ Herz just went 2 innings with 4ks and no hits or walks allowed.

No velocity data.

He would be huge for this rotation, im a big believer in his long term future as a good #3 in a playoff rotation. Maybe a slightly worse Gio comp.

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

@TheNatsReport Herz rookie cards rn 👀👀

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

@HoneyBadger1962 Outside of Dax Kilby (very small sample size) all of these guys r over ranked

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

I would be very upset with all of these. Feels uneducated to me and I don’t think this is anywhere near the possible real return

[MLB Nerds @MLBNerds]

CJ Abrams Mock Trades

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

Abimelec Ortiz is starting to become very underrated. For the first time I’m actually really excited about him. OPS >1.000 over his last 30 games and 1.500 for his last 10.

Very manageable K-rate (<20%) recently.

He should be up on Monday as our everyday DH against RHP.

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

Man he has physically matured so much since we acquired him. Easy to forget how young some of these guys are and the physical projection that comes alongside it. Would slot him in my t30 today.

[Fredericksburg Nationals @FXBGNats]

How about back-to-back bombs! Rafi Ramirez sends it out of the yard!

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

Float him to Rd2/3 would be a good fit for the Nats

[Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB]

BREAKING: Santiago (Ca.) RHP Striker Pence announces on Instagram he is reclassifying to 2027. Formerly the No. 1 RHP in the 2028 class.

Pence is up to 101 MPH with a mid-80s slider and a splitter that flashes big upside.

He will 18.2 years old for the Draft.

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

@NatsOfTheFuture His complex start isn’t too concerning, still great BB% and ridiculously unlucky BABIP, especially for a speedster with FCL defenses

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

@NatsOfTheFuture The argument against is device time manipulation, especially w the lockout

[Nats Minor Leagues @NatsNextGen]

Interesting that Riley Cornelio coming in for Rochester tonight in the 5th inning as a bulk reliever. Bet he will be up for the big league club in that role soon.
