Fangraphs has become the first shop to publish updated system rankings that include our new draftees. Lets do a quick review of where Kiley McDaniel and team have put the new guys.
Reminder, our review of their pre-season Nats top 30-or-so is here: Fangraphs’ methodology leaves a little to be desired and their FV-based ranking does leave us with some weird rankings. That being said, here’s where they’ve slotted in our 3 big 2023 draftees:
- Dylan Crews: New Nats System #2, and #5 overall in the entirety of the minors. Not a bad debut.
- Yohandy Morales: new Nats system #5, outside the top 100.
- Travis Sykora: new Nats system #8, outside the top 100.
I’m sure we’ll start to see other major shops update their rankings and we’ll react as they do.
