Washington Nationals’ 2021 6th Round pick Michael Kirian has another milestone...

WASHINGTON - There has been a professional milestone every month for Michael Kirian, 22, a native of Ohio.

He was drafted by the Nationals out of the University of Louisville in the sixth round on July 15, assigned to the Florida Complex League roster on August 18, and then on Tuesday promoted to low Single-A Fredericksburg.

Assistant GM and VP of Scouting Operations Kris Kline was excited to get Kirian where the Nationals did in this past July’s draft.

“We see him as a starter, ultimately in the end the kids are going to end up telling you what they are,” Kline said.
