Yohandy Morales Born: 10/09/01 Ht. 6’3″ Wt. 225 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
After a 33-game stint @ the City Isle, Morales was parked in Rochester for the rest of ’25 – playing 128 games vs. 75 in ’24. Scouts now think he’s better suited to play 1B vs. 3B where “his hands work better.” At the plate, Morales’s power plays well to the opposite field but still has a tendency to chase (164K). Barring a veteran signing, he’ll be competing to take the 1B spot in D.C. in ’26 | |

Abimelec Ortiz Born: 2/22/02 Ht. 5’10” Wt. 230 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats |
Picked up in the MacKenzie Gore trade, Ortiz earned a spot on the Rangers 40-man roster this past November after splitting 2025 between AA and AAA and smacking 25 HRs between the two levels. At 5’10” and 230 lbs, he’s limited to 1B/DH (possibly FB) so his future value is basically power from the left side, presuming his 2025 nos. weren’t a product of the Southern and Pacific Coast League ballparks. | |

Sam Brown Born: 9/11/01 Ht. 6’2″ Wt. 210 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats |
Brown was picked up along with Jake Eder in a deadline trade with the Angels, then quietly posted an .856 OPS in 35 games with the Senators. He’s spent his entire minor-league career at AA, but seems destined to spend a third season at AA, unless or until Morales makes it to The Show. Scouts like his ability to make contact and the glove but feel he’ll struggle against MLB pitching. | |

Angel Requena Born: 6/08/07 Ht. 6’1″ Wt. 160 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
Like Carlos Tavares a season ago, Requena’s semi-decent production, DOB, and the Nats utter lack of 1B depth gets him a nod here. He’s two years removed being a six-figure IFA, but there’s not much else to be found about him online that’s not already on this site. |
