With their second pick of the 2024 MLB Draft, the Washington Nationals selected 22-year-old Caleb Lomavita out of the University of California, Berkeley, taking the Honolulu, Hawaii-born catcher with the 39th overall pick.
The top-ranked backstop in the draft class according to Baseball America, Nats’ Vice President, Amateur Scouting Danny Haas described Lomavita as a “warrior.”
“It’s been a blast watching him since high school,” Haas told reporters when Lomavita was introduced to the nation’s capital after signing.
