Overall
Summary
Seaver King, 23-year-old shortstop and 2024 first-round pick (10th overall) for the Washington Nationals, has experienced a remarkable turnaround. After struggling in his first pro season (2024: .751 OPS in 20 games) and spiraling in 2025 (125 games with .631 OPS and only 6 HRs), King found his form in the Arizona Fall League.
