Nationals Add Top Prospect Brady House Ahead MLB Debut

The Washington Nationals have officially promoted top prospect Brady House from Triple-A Rochester to be their everyday third baseman, following a strong minor league performance with a .304/.353/.519 slash line and 13 home runs in 65 games. House, ranked as the Nationals' No. 3 prospect and the 91st overall in MLB, joins a struggling Nationals offense that has one of the lowest right-handed power outputs in the league this season. At 22 years old, House has been particularly impressive in June, batting .365 with three home runs in 12 games, and is expected to provide much-needed right-handed power for the team. He was drafted 11th overall in the 2021 MLB Draft out of Winder-Barrow High School in Georgia and transitioned from shortstop to third base in 2023, posting a .948 fielding percentage in the minors. House replaces Jose Tena, who was demoted to Triple-A Rochester, and faces competition to maintain playing time against other infielders like Amed Rosario and Paul DeJong. His MLB debut is set for Monday at Nationals Park against the Colorado Rockies, marking the beginning of what the Nationals hope will be a long-term fixture in their lineup.
