Seaver King, Washington’s top pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, at No. 10 overall in the 1st round, started his collegiate career at Division II Wingate (NC), where he flourished, putting together a “47-game hitting streak [as a sophomore] in 2022-23 and slashing .411/.457/.699 with 11 homers,” overall that season, as noted in MLB Pipeline’s scouting report on the 21-year-old shortstop.
It is, “the third-longest hitting streak in Division II history,” the Nationals noted in their press release on their first round pick.
