Braymer’s Turn: Washington Nationals’ prospect Ben Braymer was added to the club’s 40-Man roster this winter, to protect him from selection in the Rule 5 Draft coming off a 2019 campaign in which the 25-year-old lefty pitched at Double and Triple-A in the organization.
Braymer, a 2016 18th Round pick out of Auburn, ranked 14th overall on MLB Pipeline’s list of the top prospects in the organization, talked in an MiLB.com podcast interview this winter about what, if anything, changed for him once he was added to the 40-Man.
“It obviously puts me in a great position to, hopefully, contribute to the Nationals’ success sooner than later,” Braymer said.
