In all, the Nationals have used nine of their first 10 picks on college players — seven hitters and two pitchers.
“I’m more apt to watch the next couple of picks after we get back up,” Martinez said. “Those guys are going to be just as important as the first guy being that we’re rebuilding right now. So those are the guys that I’m kind of interested to see how things line up.”For the Nationals, hitting on picks later in the draft could be just as vital to their rebuild as the success of Crews. Washington focused on college players Monday in rounds 3 through 10, using seven of its eight picks on them.
“I feel like Washington got two of the best college hitters in the draft, if I’m being honest,” Morales said Monday.
