Our final look at the leaders, trailers, and outliers in the Washington Nationals minor leagues. Repeats from 2021 are in italics
PLEASE NOTE: This format discriminates against multi-level players who were good, guys who were injured, and guys who were traded away. I try to factor in age relative to the level so before you “What about______?” look up his age and how many seasons he’s played the level. Finally, it’s also worth noting that one year’s “good” can be next year’s “bad” and vice-versa.
