  • In the latest episode of the Talk Nats Podcast, the spotlight is on promising performances from the Nationals' spring training. Robert Hassell III shone with a crucial three-run double that helped secure a 6-3 victory over the Astros. After struggling with injuries last season, he’s looking to stay healthy and strengthen his performance in the minors as competition heats up with other top prospects like James Wood and Dylan Crews. Manager Davey Martinez recognized Hassell’s potential impact on the team's success moving forward. Additionally, pitcher Jake Irvin impressed with a quick inning, while Jarlin Susana showcased his striking speed despite a challenging outing.

    The podcast also highlighted CJ Abrams' new role as the leadoff hitter for the upcoming season, which aims to solidify the batting order. Abrams has demonstrated consistent performance over the past year, though he faced a slump that briefly reset his position. Dylan Crews, another top prospect, is also a competitive factor for the lineup, but Martinez expressed confidence in Abrams leading off. As the spring season approaches, there's noticeable excitement around Abrams’ revamped conditioning and the overall potential of the Nationals' roster.
