In his senior year at Merritt Island High School in Merritt Island, FL, Washington Nationals’ 2018 1st Round pick Mason Denaburg went (5-1) with a 1.27 ERA in eight outings and 35 1⁄3 innings pitched, striking out 73 batters and walking only ten.
Denaburg, 19, dealt with biceps tendinitis before the draft, however, though it didn’t stop the Nationals from picking the right-hander, who was selected 27th overall.
“It’s not an injury that for us was going to scare us off,” Assistant General Manager & Vice President, Scouting Operations Kris Kline told reporters on the night of the 2018 Draft.
