"Purely based off prospect rankings, there is a very real argument that catcher Harry Ford, who was acquired from the Seattle Mariners earlier this offseason, is the crown jewel of all the new players the Nationals welcomed into their organization. While in future years, guys like Gavin Fien might surpass Ford on a prospect level, Ford is the most highly touted prospect acquired this offseason that will likely debut in 2025."
"He excelled the last time he played in the event, and it was part of the reason his prospect stock began to soar, obviously combined with his outstanding numbers. But besides his background, Ford made a key decision within the last couple of weeks that could have a lasting impact on his long-term future with the Nationals, should he pan out."
Harry Ford, acquired from the Seattle Mariners, is the most highly touted prospect the Nationals added this offseason and projects to likely debut in 2025. He will report to spring training in West Palm Beach and then join Team Great Britain for the World Baseball Classic, giving fans an early look on a big stage. Ford previously excelled in the WBC, helping his prospect stock rise alongside strong statistical performance. Ford recently changed representation from the Boras Corporation to Roc Nation Sports, a move that could influence long-term extension negotiations given the Nationals' past inability to retain high-profile Boras clients.
