The Nationals have had a rough first half of the 2023 season. Yes, maybe they are not quite as bad as the Oakland A's, but they currently are the 4th worst team in baseball and are just 2.5 games ahead of Colorado for the worst record in the NL.

Joey Meneses, the silver lining from last year's National's team has struggled so far in his sophomore season. Will the Second Half of the season be more of the same or will he tap into that power surge he discovered prior to the All Star Break?

CJ Abrams was supposed to be a star. He was drafted #6 overall as a lightning-fast shortstop with legitimate five-tool potential. He shot up the minor leagues and debuted in San Diego at age 21, and was featured near the top of various prospect rankings.

There is nothing better than calling your shot, and that is what we here at District on Deck will be attempting to do for tonight's MLB Home Run Derby and tomorrow's All Star Game.

The Nationals made a big splash by selecting Dylan Crews with their first round pick Sunday night, but added yet another big bat later that night with University of Miami 3B Yohandy Morales.

The Nationals caught the Reds at the wrong time, amidst their red-hot stretch, and got swept over four games. Washington got back on track over the weekend, taking two of three from the Texas Rangers. Who had impressive weeks for the Nats?

The Nationals landed a generational talent in Dylan Crews that is a lock to be a Top 10 prospect in all of baseball when the updated rankings release and may even join fellow National James Wood as a Top 5 prospect.

Draft day is approaching. On Sunday, the Nationals will welcome their newest top prospect, one that is almost certainly a lock to be top 50 in most Top 100 prospect rankings. For a team in the midst of a massive player overhaul, that is a welcome sight.

Two series wins against two solid teams made for a great week for Nationals fans. Progressions from multiple players credited to four wins this week. Two players made outstanding contributions and were recognized for it. Who were the two Players?

MLB pitchers have never been as talented as they are now. Just about every pitcher is throwing close to triple digits and has the same strikeout rate as Nolan R

The Nationals earned their first World Series thanks to a core of homegrown players, such as Ryan Zimmerman, Stephen Strasburg, Anthony Rendon, and Juan Soto. That era feels long gone, and now we are left searching for the next great Nat in this draft.

Paul Skenes put up videogame numbers this year at LSU with a 1.69 ERA across 122.2 innings with 209 K’s and only 20 BB’s. With that said, I will try to convince you that, if he’s still available, the Nationals should not draft him.

With five weeks remaining until the MLB Trade Deadline, rumors have flourished about some popular Nationals players that might be interesting for contending teams, possibly none more than third baseman Jeimer Candelario.

Paul Skenes has set the NCAA on fire, proving to be one of the best pitching prospects in recent history. If available, the National should snatch him up with the second overall pick in this year's MLB draft.

The Nationals had a bounce-back week, winning three out of seven games versus the Cardinals and Padres. There were shutout wins with ugly losses in between. You never know what you'll get with the Nats this season. Who had impressive weeks?

I recently took a trip to the Dominican Republic and I visited the Washington Nationals Academy as I watched the baby Nationals of the Dominican Summer League play a series against the Los Angeles Angels affiliate. Here are some players who caught my eye.

CJ Abrams is just one of the bunch of young prospects acquired in the Juan Soto trade. With the Nats hoping for him to be a big part of their future, what would a good season from him look like?
Sam Holstine|
The Nationals are rebuilding, and will look to move some established veterans by the deadline. Here are four players who could soon be moved.

Over the weekend, I decided to do the same thing in Harrisburg. I was in attendance for two Double-A Senators games at FNB Field, and came away with a better sense of where some of Washington's top prospects stand in their development.
