"The Washington Nationals have just a few weeks left in the season, and with development as the priority, it's a good time to check in on the Nats' minor leaguers. While the Nats aren't having a great season, there are always developments happening in the minor leagues. The 2025 MLB Draft was over two months ago, and we've seen multiple debuts of the Nats draftees."
"Elijah Green (No.23) - It's tough to say, but it might be a lost cause for former fifth overall pick Elijah Green. It just hasn't worked out for the athletically gifted outfielder. In 1050 career minor league at-bats, Green has struck out in 504 of them. It's an absurd and unsustainable strikeout rate that hasn't improved since Green debuted in the minor leagues."
The Washington Nationals have a few weeks remaining in the season and are prioritizing player development. Multiple 2025 draftees have already debuted in the minors. Eli Willits, the 17-year-old switch-hitting shortstop and first overall pick, is off to a hot start, hitting .371 in his first ten professional games, stealing two bases, and showing solid defense. Elijah Green, a former fifth overall pick, continues to struggle with an extreme strikeout rate, totaling 504 strikeouts in 1,050 minor league at-bats. Green possesses strong physical tools but faces an uncertain future unless contact improves.
