Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Young played in 33 games down the stretch after making his MLB debut for the Nationals in late August, and he had a .252/.322/.336 slash line with no homers, 13 steals, 12 RBI and nine runs in 121 plate appearances. It was a solid showing for the 2021 seventh-round pick, especially since he entered the season having never played above Single-A. He split most of the minor-league campaign between the High-A and Double-A levels, and overall he hit .305 with six home runs and 39 steals in 112 contests. The speed and contact skills (18.2 percent strikeout rate) were apparent in his first taste of the majors, as was his limited power. Young will likely need a strong showing during spring training to have a chance of making Washington's Opening Day roster in 2024, and even then he could still begin the campaign at Triple-A Rochester given he basically skipped the affiliate last year.

Takes seat Wednesday
Young is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Young produced three hits over the Nationals' last two games to lift his season average up to .267, but he still looks to be stuck in a part-time role in center field. He and Eddie Rosario have now drawn three starts apiece at the position over a stretch of six games.

Stat Review
How does Jacob Young compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could open '24 as starting CF
Young could open the 2024 season as the Nationals' starting center fielder, per Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com.
ANALYSIS
Young slashed just .252/.322/.336 across his first 121 major-league plate appearances in 2023, but he stole 13 bases in 13 attempts and has racked up 104 stolen bases in 253 career minor-league games. His primary competition in camp next spring will likely be Victor Robles, who has battled injuries and ineffectiveness over the last handful of years but carries a fairly reasonable $3.3 million club option for the 2024 campaign. Washington also has a number of high-ranking outfield prospects -- including Dylan Crews, James Wood and Robert Hassell II -- who may be pushing to reach the big leagues sometime next summer.
