WASHINGTON – Mark Scialabba, assistant general manager, player development, hesitated to compare Holden Powell to Drew Storen – the latter a first-round pick of the Nationals in 2009 out of Stanford.
While Powell, 21, went in the third round and may take longer to get to the majors, there is one thing in common: both were closers in college so Powell won’t have to make an adjustment to that role at the pro level.
