Player Outlook
Jacob Young played in 33 games down the stretch after making his MLB debut for the Nationals in late August, and he had a .252/.322/.336 slash line with no homers, 13 steals, 12 RBI and nine runs in 121 plate appearances. It was a solid showing for the 2021 seventh-round pick, especially since he entered the season having never played above Single-A. He split most of the minor-league campaign between the High-A and Double-A levels, and overall he hit .305 with six home runs and 39 steals in 112 contests. The speed and contact skills (18.2 percent strikeout rate) were apparent in his first taste of the majors, as was his limited power. Young will likely need a strong showing during spring training to have a chance of making Washington's Opening Day roster in 2024, and even then he could still begin the campaign at Triple-A Rochester given he basically skipped the affiliate last year.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: Steals two more bags

    Rotowire
    Young went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases during Sunday's 12-9 victory over the Marlins. Young's three hits were a season high and represented his third consecutive multi-hit effort while he also stole two bags for the second-consecutive game. The young center fielder is up to 10 steals on the season, good for fifth in all of baseball despite accumulating only 60 at-bats and one walk. His average now stands at .375 with four doubles, seven RBI and 14 runs scored.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: Steals two bases, scores four runs

    Rotowire
    Young went 2-for-4 with an RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Marlins. He had just two singles but managed to reach base in all five plate appearances, getting on via a hit-by-pitch, a fielder's choice and an error. It was the second multi-steal game this season for Young, who swiped three bags against the Giants back on April 9. Young is now a perfect 21-for-21 on stolen base attempts in 52 major-league games. The 24-year-old should continue to run wild as long as he's in the lineup, and his terrific defense in center field helps him in that regard. The rest of Young's offensive game is rather limited, however, so he doesn't have much margin for error.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: Takes seat Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Young is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. Young produced three hits over the Nationals' last two games to lift his season average up to .267, but he still looks to be stuck in a part-time role in center field. He and Eddie Rosario have now drawn three starts apiece at the position over a stretch of six games.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: Nabs fifth steal

    Rotowire
    Young went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the A's. Hitting leadoff against southpaw Alex Wood with CJ Abrams bumped down the two-hole, Young remained hot as he produced his third multi-hit game in his last four starts. While the Nationals have seen a lot of left-handed pitching lately, Young has also drawn into the lineup against righties and appears to be seizing the starting job in center field. Since his early April promotion, the 24-year-old is batting .250 (7-for-28) with two doubles, two RBI, five runs and five steals (on five attempts) in nine contests.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: Swipes three bags Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Young went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three stolen bases in Tuesday's win over the Giants. Making his fourth straight start in center field, the 24-year-old shifted down the ninth spot in the batting order with CJ Abrams returning from a finger injury to reclaim the leadoff spot, but Young still had a huge night on the basepaths. He's gone just 3-for-18 (.167) at the plate since his promotion, but a 4-for-4 performance on steal attempts is landing him on the fantasy radar. Young was successful on 52 of 59 attempts across all levels last season, so he's capable of making an impact in that category if he gets regular playing time. The Nats have faced four straight left-handed starters, however, so it remains to be seen if manager Dave Martinez will give him consistent looks against righties as well.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: Headed to majors

    Rotowire
    The Nationals will recall Young from Triple-A Rochester prior to Thursday's game versus the Pirates, Grant Paulsen of MLB Network Radio reports. Victor Robles (hamstring) is headed to the injured list, and Young will be his replacement. Young is a candidate to slide right into Robles' vacated role as the right-handed option of a platoon in center field with Eddie Rosario. The 24-year-old stole 13 bases without being caught in 33 games with the Nationals in 2023, but he might not play enough to help out fantasy managers in the steals category in the immediate future.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: Sent down to minors

    Rotowire
    The Nationals optioned Young to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday. Young entered spring training with a shot at the center field job, but Victor Robles has held him off and the Nats also plan to use Eddie Rosario some at the position. The 24-year-old should get regular reps in center field with Rochester.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: In mix for center field gig

    Rotowire
    Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Wednesday that Young is competing with Victor Robles for the center field job, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. Martinez acknowledged that Robles will enter spring training with an advantage, but the manager was impressed with Young down the stretch last season. Young slashed just .252/.322/.336 in 33 games with the Nationals but went 13-for-13 in stolen base attempts after swiping 39 bags over three levels in the minors. Martinez also noted that Young would get work at all three outfield positions this spring, so a bench role might end up being a better fit for him if he wins a spot on the 26-man roster. Even that isn't guaranteed though, as he played only four games at Triple-A in 2023 during a rapid ascent through the Nationals' system that saw him begin last season at High-A.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: Swipes two bags Friday

    Rotowire
    Young went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Friday's 10-6 win over Atlanta. He swiped his ninth and 10th bags of the season, the first coming after he beat out a potential double-play grounder in the third inning. Young raced through three levels of the minors this season before making his big-league debut and went 49-for-56 on the basepaths across all his stops, but his lack of power (just six homers in 143 games) and a .242/.312/.333 slash line through his first 112 plate appearances in the majors makes it unclear whether he'll be in the line for a starting role with the Nats in 2024.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: Two hits and a steal in loss

    Rotowire
    Young went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers. Young continues to impress since being called up Aug. 26. The 23-year-old has recorded a hit in 11 straight games and has multiple hits in three of his last five. He's been batting leadoff against lefties and is now a perfect 4-of-4 in stolen base attempts. Young should continue to see a near everyday role down the final stretch of the season with the Nationals having nothing to play for.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: Thrives in leadoff spot

    Rotowire
    Young went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 11-5 loss to the Mets. With Lane Thomas (back) sidelined and lefty Jose Quintana on the mound for New York, Young got his first career start as the leadoff hitter and made the most of his opportunity. CJ Abrams will continue to hit atop the order against righties, but Young could become an intriguing DFS option if he keeps this assignment against future southpaws. The 24-year-old rookie has hit safely in seven straight games, batting .333 (8-for-24) over that stretch with three doubles, three runs, three RBI and two steals.

  • Nationals' Jacob Young: Nabs first big-league steal

    Rotowire
    Young went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays. The 24-year-old has started three straight games in center field as the rebuilding Nationals look to the future, and Young collected his first hit and first steal in the majors in the seventh inning. His speed is legit, as the 2021 seventh-round pick swiped 39 bases in 46 attempts across three levels of the minors this year before his promotion to the big-league roster over the weekend, so Young could be a fantasy asset in that category down the stretch if he continues to see regular playing time.
