After drafting high school infielder Brady House in the first round Sunday night, the Washington Nationals added six more position players on Monday afternoon.
Washington has been known to snap up pitchers early in the draft, but this year has been the opposite, taking their first pitcher in the fourth round. Here’s who the Nationals drafted in Monday afternoon:
— Second round, pick 80: Daylen Lile, outfielder, Kentucky’s Trinity High School. Lile, a Louisville signee, was named Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year in Kentucky twice during his high school career. The 6-foot outfielder was the 80th best prospect in the MLB.
