"Petry was a standout player in college, selected to the All-SEC First Team, a consensus Freshman All-American, and finished his college career second on the Gamecocks' all-time home run list, with 54 dingers. The Nationals' number 13 prospect (as of the 2025 list) can play the outfield and first base--adding positional depth not only to his development to see where he fits best, but also to give him optimal playing time in the minors"
"He has the talent to be a potential star for the Nationals, and while his MLB ETA is currently 2028, and the Nationals' fate in 2026, 2027, and 2028 is unknown, if the Nationals start to see success, and Petry does exceptionally well in the minors, at the very least, he could be a trade piece for the Nats to acquire a superstar for a World Series run, if he is not a massive part of the team's potential future postseason runs already."
The Washington Nationals possess a promising young core and a deep farm system but currently lack a veteran star. Second-round pick Ethan Petry offers power and positional flexibility, able to play outfield and first base. Petry hit .336/.462/.661 with 54 career home runs and 162 RBIs across 755 plate appearances at South Carolina. Petry is the Nationals' No. 13 prospect (2025) with an MLB ETA of 2028, providing on-field upside or valuable trade leverage. The organization needs positional depth; veteran utility players like Chris Taylor and Kiké Hernández exemplify how versatility and experience can bolster a contender.
