Elijah Green, 18, and the No. 5 overall pick in the 1st Round of the 2022 MLB Draft, said last night he was thrilled to be selected by the Washington Nationals.
“It was definitely truly a blessing,” Green said in a Zoom call with reporters after his name was announced, “because all my life I’ve been working for this goal, this has always been one of my goals in my life, and to be called by the Washington Nationals is truly a blessing.
“I’m going to go up there, work hard, and just try to bring a championship back to Washington.
