Robert Hassell III was set to make his major league debut with the Washington Nationals but had to wait an extra day due to rain. His promotion follows that of key prospects acquired in the Juan Soto trade moving into the major leagues, highlighting a significant moment for the franchise. Dylan Crews, the Nationals' top prospect, was recently placed on the injured list, presenting an opportunity for Hassell, who expressed his excitement about being in the big leagues at last. Manager Dave Martinez acknowledged the importance of these young players to the organization's future.
Just finally being here, it means the world to me. Something I've dreamed of. To finally be here and be with these guys, I'm looking forward to winning some games.
You always want to go out there and play every day, but I guess it could have been worse so we're just getting in the training room and getting it right so I can get on the field as soon as I can.
It's been great, it really has. Watching these guys grow and come up, I know how much they mean to this organization.
