When the Nationals traded Juan Soto in 2022, Robert Hassell III was one of the big pieces coming to DC. However, the last couple of years have not gone according to plan for the young left handed outfielder. Between injury, and ineffectiveness, Hassell’s stock has dipped a lot over the years. However, a strong showing in the Arizona Fall League gives the 23 year old momentum he has not had in a while.
Ever since coming to the Nats organization, Hassell’s once highly touted hitting ability has seemingly vanished. In 2022, Hassell was not great after the trade.
