Brady House Logs Two Hits For Double-A Harrisburg
Brady House went 2-for-4 with an RBI for Double-A Harrisburg on Wednesday. The 21-year-old is now hitting .244 with 11 homers and 28 RBI and a .764 OPS for Harrisburg this season. He hit .312 over three levels of the minors in 2023. The Nationals' No. 3 prospect has a big frame at 6-foot-4 and 208 pounds and possesses 60-grade power. The first-round pick of Washington in 2021 has progressed nicely through the minor leagues so far. He has played third base primarily for Harrisburg this season and could put himself on the big-league radar in a few years if he continues his progression through the minors.

Brady House Heating Up At Triple-A
Brady House has begun to heat up at Triple-A. On Saturday, House tallied four hits, including two home runs. Then on Sunday, he extended his current hitting streak to three games. Since holding a solid .269/.333/.423 line with just three doubles and one home run during the first 14 games of the Triple-A regular season, House has held a strong .368/.429/.684 slash line over his previous five contests. Last summer, the former 11th overall selection spent time with Double-A before earning a promotion to Triple-A. Across his first taste of Triple-A action last season, House held a .250/.280/.375 line. This is a great sign to see House begin to find his power swing at the Triple-A level. If he continues to hit for power, he could be in the mix for an early-season MLB debut.

Brady House Belts Home Run No. 1 On Thursday
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.

Brady House Reassigned To Minor-League Camp
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.

Trey Lipscomb, Jose Tena, Brady House Likely To Compete At 3B
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.
