    Nationals' Elijah Green: Signs of progress

    Elijah Green upped his walk rate in May, an indication the 19-year-old is beginning to develop better strike zone judgement, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.The 2022 first-round pick has had a rough start to his first full season as a pro, slashing .240/.358/.357 through his first 47 games at Single-A Fredericksburg with a brutal 41.2 percent strikeout rate, but after drawing only eight walks in 17 games in April (10.4 percent), Green has earned 23 free passes in 29 games since the beginning of May (18.7 percent). "It's about the swing decisions and managing the strike zone, and he's going through a serious master class of it right now," Washington Nationals director of player development De Jon Watson said this week. "It's the first time in his young career that he's seen this much off-speed, and they're not going to stop. They're going to continue to entice him to chase and get him to expand the zone." Green has been able to flash his plus athleticism in other ways, playing strong defense in center field and stealing 19 bases on 22 attempts, but his pitch recognition will need to start catching up to his tools before he'll be considered a truly elite prospect.

    Nationals' Elijah Green: Striking out too much

    Elijah Green is hitting .262 with zero home runs, seven steals and a 25:6 K:BB in 11 games with Single-A Fredericksburg.Since entering pro ball, Green has a 45.5 percent strikeout rate and an 11.9 percent walk rate.

    Nationals' Elijah Green: Flashes promise in pro debut

    Elijah Green got into 12 games for the Washington Nationals' rookie-level Florida Coast League affiliate this season, slashing .302/.404/.535 with two homers and a 6:21 BB:K.The fifth overall pick in this year's draft, Green got to make his pro debut at the close of the FCL season and hit the ball hard but also put up a a 40.3 percent strikeout rate. Already big and strong at the age of 18, Green is built like an NFL linebacker -- or Mike Trout. He's not expected to develop anything resembling Trout's hit tool, but Green has plenty of power and speed for fantasy managers (and Nationals fans) to dream on.
