PROSPECT: Brady House, 3B, Washington Nationals
ANALYSIS: The 2021 draft was known for elite high school shortstops in the class. Nine prep shortstops were selected in the first round, including three in the top 11, with Brady House coming in as the 11th selection to the Nationals. House came out and exploded on the scene in his draft year, slashing .322/.394/.576 with four home runs in complex ball.
Between injuries and struggles, House had a middling season in 2022, hitting .278/.356/.375 in 45 games at Single-A. He returned to Single-A to open the 2023 season and has already been promoted to High-A, combining to hit .312/.375/.532 with nine home runs and seven steals over 48 games.
House has been moved to third base, which was projected from the time he was drafted due to his bulky 6'4" frame. The defensive transition has gone very well, and he could accelerate his timeline with the position change.
VERDICT: House should get some Double-A time this year, and he really is in an optimal organization to get a chance if he can continue succeeding with the bat. Definitely a deep dynasty league own, and he's beginning to creep into a must-own in shallow dynasty leagues.
