Washington Nationals Top Prospects for 2026
1. Eli Willits, SS, 18, 6’1”/180, A
Willits feels like one of the safer prospects in the 2025 draft, boasting a well-rounded skill set. One of the younger players in the draft, Willits was originally part of the 2026 class before reclassifying and will be 17 years and 6 months on draft day. Willits has a simple operation in the box, using a small stride and a slight barrel tip before dropping his bat in the slot. He has quick hands and good power potential if he fills out the frame.
The hit tool is arguably plus and one of the best in the draft class. His contact rates on the prep showcase circuit as a 16-year-old were insanely impressive, and he hit all pitch types well. We are looking at a near 90 percent contact rate, with in-zone contact rates even higher. Willits shows the ability to get to the pull side on good fastballs. His swing is geared towards line drives, and Willits has demonstrated the ability to use the whole field effectively.
Presently a plus runner, Willits shows good aggression and efficiency on the base paths. He steals with ease and has shown the ability to take an extra base. Possibly a second baseman long-term, Willits will likely stay up the middle and be a solid, well-rounded contributor. The question is, can he tap into power as he matures and develops?
FFG: Well-Round, Super Consistent Fantasy Asset
