Jacob Young, Washington highlighted in their Season in Review for the 2024 campaign, “[led] all of MLB with 19 runs prevented and 21 outs above average, per Baseball Savant,” both of which, the Nationals noted, “… were the most in a season by any OF in MLB since 2019.”
Young, 25, and a 2nd Round pick by the Nats in 2021 (out of the University of Florida), had a breakout defensive run in his second season in the majors after he debuted with 33 games in 2023.
