The Nationals have a strong farm system already. Eli Willits, Jarlin Susana, and Travis Sykora are solid prospects with high ceilings. However, there are some under-the-radar prospects that Nationals fans should start paying attention to.
Brayan Cortesia
Brayan Cortesia is an 18-year-old prospect from Venezuela. He is a right-handed hitter with an average build and above-average ratings at fielding and running. Defense and athleticism for defenders at premium positions are important, and Cortesia fills both of these requirements. The concerns with Cortesia come from his offensive potential. Prognosticators predict him to be an average contact bat with below-average power.
