Nationals Sign Local Star Hacopian | Washington DC News

The Nationals just locked in their top draft pick, Chris Hacopian, a 21-year-old Maryland native and lifelong fan who grew up idolizing Ian Desmond. Drafted 11th overall, Hacopian played high school ball locally, earned Gatorade Player of the Year honors, and dominated at Texas A&M — earning First-Team All-SEC honors as a junior. MLB.com ranked him 14th overall, praising his bat control, power potential, and elite plate discipline. After signing at Nationals Park, he got his first taste of the field — and said it felt like a dream come true.
