Nationals Add Yasel Antuna To Player Pool
5 years agoThe Washington Nationals added infield prospect Yasel Antuna to their 60-man player pool on Friday. Antuna comes in at No. 12 on the team's prospect list heading into the 2020 season, according to MLB Pipeline. The 20-year-old switch-hitter is highly unlikely to play in the majors this season, though, as he hasn't played above High-A in the minor leagues. He does most of his damage from the left side of the plate, but injuries, including Tommy John surgery, have limited him so far at the lower levels. There is raw talent and the potential for him to become a five-tool player, but Antuna has plenty of developing to do, which is why the Nats have included him in their player pool this season.
