No one looking at farm system rankings should be too surprised to see the Washington Nationals far down on most lists, since most of them have said the same thing over the previous few seasons about how the club landed where it is right now.
Having won it all in 2019, having finished in the top half of the standings in recent seasons (though 2020 was rough), leading to lower first round picks, and having called up a bunch of prospects over the past few seasons, the organization is not exactly knee-deep in high-end prospect talent right now, though that could change in the near future.
