RHPs

		Andry Lara Born: 1/06/03 Ht. 6’5″ Wt. 235 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	In January, Lara was designated for assignment but cleared waivers. 2025 was a mixed-bag that saw the 23-y.o. pitch at multiple levels though for only 56 total innings. It’s unclear if he’ll return to starting this season or continue to work as a reliever as he did for the big club last summer. Scouts have long warned that the lack of a third pitch would effect that change.
		Jarlin Susana Born: 3/23/04 Ht. 6’7″ Wt. 283 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	Injuries limited Susana to 56⅓ innings over 14 starts, ending with lat surgery in September. When healthy, he boasts a triple-digit four-seamer, a high-90s two seamer, a low-to-mid-90s “changeup,” and a mid-80s slider with “curveball action.” The big X factor for 2026 is when he’ll pitch in a game that counts. Fearless prediction: Susana will start throwing right after the FCL ends.
		Riley Cornelio Born: 06/06/00 Ht. 6’3″ Wt. 195 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	Cornelio added 3mph to his FB in ’25, enabling him to rise from High-A to AAA and earn a spot on the 40-man roster. With a tightened slider and a mid-80s changeup, he may stay in the Red Wings rotation until the Big Nats need middle relief. Alas, it’s not all puppies and flowers: there’s worry that his fringy control and flyball tendencies won’t play in Peoria.
		Eddy Yean Born: 06/25/01 Ht. 6’3″ Wt. 265 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	A former watchlister (2021), Yean returns to the Washington minors after being traded away (along with Wil Crowe) in December 2020 for 1B Josh Bell. The good news: Yean throws in the high 90s with a four-seamer and low-to-mid-90s sinker. The bad news: He’s a cripple pitcher who (.204 ahead, .344 behind) with a low K rate (6.9) and a high WHIP (1.6).
		Luis Perales Born: 4/14/03 Ht. 6’1″ Wt. 198 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	Picked up in a rare, prospect-for-prospect trade (LHP Jake Bennett), Perales made just a handful of appearances for the Red Sox while recovering from a June 2024 Tommy John surgery. The 23-y.o. Venezuelan boasts a 98-101 FB and a low-90s CT—the latter of which he has more command—along with a SL and a splitter. Scouts say whether he can stay as a starter hinges on the splitter.
		Travis Sykora Born: 4/28/04 Ht. 6’6″ Wt. 232 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	Sykora was building on a breakthrough 2024, pitching at four levels as the Nats held him back until May again. After four short appearance in the the FCL and Low-A, he was sent to Willmington. Six starts later he was bumped to AA. In his second start for the Senators, he left with Nats elbow and had surgery. He’s not expected to pitch north of Florida until 2027.
		Austin Amaral Born: 12/04/01 Ht. 6′ Wt. 200 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	Amaral returned to Low-A in ’25 after finishing in High-A in ’24, which is usually a bad sign, but the 23-y.o. responded with a three-level season and a stint in the Arizona Fall League. As with most late-round relievers, scouting reports are not to be found so his placement is more of an inference than anything else.
		Josh Randall Born: 10/15/02 Ht. 6’4″ Wt. 240 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	Randall was acquired along with R.J. Sales in a deadline trade with the Tigers for Kyle Finnegan. A catcher in HS, Randall converted to the mound in college and was only a starter for his last two seasons in college. A classic sinker-slider from a 3/4 slot, Randall faces the common problem of needing develop a third pitch, currently a changeup that he has trouble locating and has little separation from his primary pitches.
		Robert Cranz Born: 5/8/03 Ht. 6’3″ Wt. 207 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	Cranz was one of only three RHPs from 2025 to make the list again in 2026. An undisclosed injury ended his season in July. He’s already had Nats elbow once, so it could be that he was shut down to avoid having a second one too soon. Prior to that, he dominated Low-A with a 2.05/3.31/0.95 line and had earned a promotion to High-A. The presumption is that’s where he return in ’26… IFF he’s not had surgery.
		R.J. Sales Born: 7/22/03 Ht. 6′ Wt. 170 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	Sales came to Washington along with Randall from Detroit in a deadline trade of Kyle Finnegan. A 10th Rd. pick in ’24, the undersized northpaw made 22 appearances total in 2025, posting a line of 2.85/2.94/1.20 over 94⅓ innings. He works with a low-90s FB, a mid-80s CT and CV, and the occasional CH. The projection is middle relief if he’s able to make it over the High-A hump to AA.
		Davian Garcia Born: 10/10/03 Ht. 6’2″ Wt. 190 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	Taken in ’24 with the 6th Rd. pick from Florida Gulf Coast, Garcia features a short stride with a high slot for a deceptive angle on his splitter. Garcia made 15 starts for the FredNats and six for the Blue Rocks, where he’ll most likely begin 2026.
		Yoel Tejeda Born: 7/8/03 Ht. 6’8″ Wt. 215 Bats: S Throws: R Career Stats	Tejeda also made it through both “A” teams in his first pro season after the Nats took him with their ’24 14th Rd. pick from FSU. Tall and wiry, Tejeda uses his length to extend 7′ from the mound and attack the zone from the sides with a FB/SL/SNK/SW repetoire. Ended the season with a minor, undisclosed injury after 87IP.
		Jose Feliz Born: 10/9/05 Ht. 6’1″ Wt. 170 Bats: R Throws: R Career Stats	Feliz was the D-Nats staff ace in ’24 and was the same for the F-Nats in ’25. Not a hard thrower, scouts point to two plus secondary pitches—a low-spin slider and a mid-80s changeup—that break late and in opposite directions. Also throws a cutter, which, along with strong command, has enabled him to succeed without a lot of K’s.
