It's September 14th. You're listening to Washington Nationals News Today, AI-powered coverage of your team. I'm Corey with the story.
The Washington Nationals farm system has been buzzing this year, with a lot of prospects making moves up the ladder. We've seen guys like Eli Willits, Seaver King, and Avamalek Ortiz all get promoted, showing that some serious talent is on the way to the big leagues. It's a good sign for the future of the team. Now, right-handed pitcher Jarlin Susana is the latest to join that group. He just got bumped up to Triple-A Rochester.
Susana is a hard thrower who missed most of this season recovering from surgery, but he's looked really good in the games he has pitched. This promotion is a big deal for Susana and the Nationals. He's only 22 years old and was on track for Triple-A last year before injury set him back.
Despite some concerns about his control, his strikeout numbers have been off the charts, racking up 100 strikeouts and just 15 starts in.
Double-A. He's now just one step away from the majors, which is huge for a pitching staff that needs help. The organization sees him as a potential star, whether he ends up as a dominant starter or a shutdown closer. It looks like Susana could be making his Major League debut sometime in 2027, assuming he stays healthy. He'll likely start next season back in Triple-A to keep developing, and fans are excited about the possibility of seeing him and other young pitchers. On The Mound soon.
