Willits Debut at Double-A | Washington Nationals News

Eli Willits, the Nationals’ top 2025 draft pick and MLB Pipeline’s No. 4 prospect for 2026, made his Double-A debut Tuesday—facing off against Blue Jays’ No. 3 prospect Johnny King—and though he went 0-for-4 with two walks and an RBI, his team still crushed the Fisher Cats 11-1. At just 18, Willits continues to impress with a .260 average, .403 OBP, .855 OPS, 60 steals, 13 homers, and 71 RBIs this season. With High-A done, this promotion gives the Nationals a crucial look at how their future shortstop handles Double-A before he turns 19 in December.
