Nabs Opening Day steal
OFWashington Nationals
March 28, 2025
Young went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
He was also hit by a pitch and caught stealing, as the 25-year-old center fielder had a busy day on the basepaths despite not getting a hit. Young's defense makes him a fixture in the Nationals' lineup, but he hit ninth Thursday and doesn't offer much fantasy appeal outside of his steals. He can be a useful one-category contributor, however, going 33-for-43 on the basepaths in 2024 as Washington led the majors in steals as a team with 223.
