After taking a high school player with their first pick in the draft, the Washington Nationals also went the prep route with their second selection. By drafting Daylen Lile, an outfielder from Trinity High School in Kentucky, the Nationals got a player highly regarded at such a young age.
Hitting from the left side of the plate, Lile has been called the best high school hitter in the draft.
