We continue our look inside the Washington Nationals farm system by giving an update on the Nats’ high-A affiliate in the Carolina League, the Potomac Nationals (63-70). Last season, Tripp Keister’s club was the league champions. While they will miss the postseason this year, they did have some late inning drama in their win last night against the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (Chicago Cubs), Down 3-0 in the bottom of the ninth, Potomac scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth and won the game on a Rafael Bautista sacrifice fly.
The best prospect on the Potomac Nats right now is starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez.
