Andrew Pinckney Born: 7/23/00 Ht. 6’4″ Wt. 215 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
Pinckney got out of the ’24 dry dock and got his ship together in ’25, making more hard contact and reducing his groundball rate a tick while hitting 20 HRs and stealing 34 bags – one of five 20-20 seasons in the minors. A 29% K rate is one of his few weakenesses as scouts still peg him as the system’s best athlete, with plus-plus speed, a plus arm, and above-average defense at all three OF positions. | |

Christian Franklin Born: 11/30/99 Ht. 5’9″ Wt. 195 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
Franklin was picked up in the Michael Soroka Trade at the ’25 deadline and then added to the 40-man roster in November. A contact-oriented hitter with excellent on-base skills (career .393 OBP), Franklin sports a well-rounded game that ranges from fringy (power) to above-average (arm) with the ability to play all three OF slots. Seems likely to be given a shot as the 4th or 5th OF, similar to Alex Call’s usage last year. | |

Phillip Glasser Born: 12/3/99 Ht. 6′ Wt. 200 Bats: L Throws: R Career Stats |
Glasser has been old-for-the-level at every rung of the ladder until he reached AAA, “thanks” to having played five college seasons. A shortstop in college, the Nats tried Glasser at all four IF positions before moving him to LF. He’ll hit the occasional extra-base hit but it’s a byproduct of his all-fields approach with a slight uppercut swing. Walks a lot, strikes out a little, steals bases on reads vs. footspeed. | |
 |
Elijah Nunez Born: 12/06/01 Ht. 5’10” Wt. 180 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats |
Nunez split time between Low-A and High-A, with injuries sidelining him for most of June and July. Speed and defense are his calling cards, though he gets on base at an above-average rate (career .370 OBP) despite a below-average BA (.228). Lacks power, with one (1) HR in 141 professional games. | |
 |
Sam Petersen Born: 1/20/X03 Ht. 6′ Wt. 200 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
A hamstring injury delayed Petersen’s season until May and kept him in Florida until June. After two games in Fredericksburg, he was bumped to Wilmington and spent time in the AFL to get more ABs. Petersen has above-average tools except for his arm, making LF his most likely position. Power he’s got (.489 SLG%) but it comes at the cost of a 27% whiff rate. | |
 |
Christhian Vaquero Born: 9/13/04 Ht. 6’3″ Wt. 180 Bats: S Throws: R Career Stats |
Vaquero returns to this category after a one-year absence after repeating Low-A in ’25, setting career highs in walks, homers, and RBI. Most of that came in the 2nd half (.848 OPS in 181 PA). Freed from the spectre of Elijah Green, Vaquero played in CF for 60 of his 99 games defense with a stellar .995 FPct. and six assists. His numbers as a RHB beg the question of how much longer he’ll be allowed to switch-hit. | |
 |
Ethan Petry Born: 6/17/04 Ht. 6’4″ Wt. 235 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
Petry was taken in the 2nd Rd. of the ’25 draft and debuted in Low-A for 24 games and logged 18 games in the AFL. Power via plus bat speed is his best tool, followed by his arm. Alas, he has below-average speed and mediocre range and is projected to eventually play 1B or LF. A return to Fredericksburg is most likely to get more reps and improve his selectivity. | |
 |
Yeremy Cabrera Born: 7/02/05 Ht. 5’11” Wt. 155 Bats: L Throws: L Career Stats |
The 20-y.o. Cabrera had an OPS of .730 in his first full season at Low-A with 8HR and 52RBI. A plus defender with plus speed (43SBs) but a below-average arm, the question marks are his ability to make consistent contact – especially against lefthanded pitchers, who limited him to a .202/.329/.327 albeit in 59ABs. | |
 |
Dashyll Tejeda Born: 3/16/06 Ht. 6′ Wt. 170 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
Tejeda made his way to Florida (in baseball this is good) after a stong sophomore season in the DSL. A pure contact hitter, he’s unlikely to hit for power but can hit to all fields and has the speed to turn singles into doubles. He can also take a walk (18 in 41G) and steal a base (29). Will the Nats send him to Low-A to start ’26 or have him spend May in the FCL before letting him head north. | |
|
Browm Martinez Born: 11/26/06 Ht. 5’10” Wt. 161 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats |
There’s surprisingly little to be found online about Martinez, despite his origins as a Yankees IFA. Most focus on the .404/.507/.632 line while glossing over the 18 games in ’25 and finishing the season on the 60-day D.L. Given that his last game played was July 3 and the trade took place on July 27, the injury could be significant enough to be a prototypical Nats injury gamble. |
