Washington Nationals third base prospect
Brady House blasted his first home run of the season in a 2-for-3 day at the plate for Triple-A Rochester on Thursday. After going hitless in four at-bats in the first game of the season, the former 11th-overall draft pick has three multi-hit games in his last four, now slashing .350/.381/.600 on the young season. The Nats' top offensive prospect showed well in limited Grapefruit League play earlier this spring, going 7-for-21 (.333) with one stolen base and a 4:4 BB:K but was sent to Triple-A to begin the 2025 campaign. With a strong showing at the highest level of the minors, fantasy managers should expect the 6-foot-4 slugger to be in D.C. later this season. Power-needy managers in NL-only and deeper leagues could consider rostering him, but problematic chase and strikeout rates could be a drain on batting average once he gets to the majors.

Washington Nationals third base prospect
Brady House was reassigned to minor-league camp on Wednesday. The 2021 first-round draft pick had a solid showing this spring, going 7-for-21 (.333) with one stolen base and a 4:4 BB:K. The Nats will roll with veteran
Paul DeJong at third for the time being while House will get more seasoning in the minors before he gets the call to the big leagues. The 6-foot-4 slugger ascended to Triple-A by midseason last year and slashed .250/.280/.375 with six home runs in 224 at-bats, but registered a high 28.8 percent K% and a low 3.0 percent BB%. Big power can come with lots of strikeouts, but Washington will probably want to see him have a bit more success before giving him a shot in the majors. The Nationals' fourth-ranked prospect could have an immediate impact, though, and fantasy managers should stay vigilant for any positive developments as the season progresses.

MASN's Bobby Blanco writes that Washington Nationals infielders
Trey Lipscomb,
Jose Tena and
Brady House are the most likely candidates to compete for the starting third base job in spring training this year. Lipscomb, 24, has the most MLB experience of the trio after making his big-league debut in 2024 and hitting .200/.268/.232 with a homer, 10 RBI and 11 steals in 61 games. He showed a strong glove, but Lipscomb was optioned four times in six months and recalled five times. Tena, 23, started 34 of the team's final 44 games at third and hit .274 with three homers, 15 RBI and six steals in 41 games with the Nats. He didn't outshine Lipscomb in the field but was much more impressive with the bat and produced nice exit velocities. House, 21, has been good on offense and defense but he has only made 51 appearances at third at Triple-A. The former first-rounder has more long-term upside but also needs more experience.

The Washington Nationals have invited third base prospect
Brady House to major-league spring training this year, which begins next month. Per MLB Pipeline, House is the team's No. 3 prospect. In addition to House, right-hander
Jarlin Susana (No. 4), catcher Caleb Lomavita (No. 10), first baseman/third baseman
Yohandy Morales (No. 9), third baseman
Cayden Wallace (No. 11), outfielder
Daylen Lile (No. 12) and outfielder
Andrew Pinckney (No. 28) were invited to MLB camp. The 21-year-old House, the 11th overall pick in 2021, hit only .241/.297/.402 with a .699 OPS, 19 home runs, 66 RBI, six steals and 68 runs scored in 129 games at Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester last year. His aggressiveness at the plate led to a high strikeout rate and might have pushed his timeline back as Washington's third baseman of the future.
