"The people at Major League Baseball came up with a great concept with the Spring Breakout showcase games between teams across the minor leagues in the middle of March during Spring Training. This is the third year, and next year they move to a tournament style series of single elimination games until the champion wins them all."
"The Nats starting lineup features Eli Willits leading off with Gavin Fien (DH) after him, and Seaver King batting third. Then lineup has some Triple-A talent in the middle with Ronny Cruz batting sixth. With Willits, Fien, and King, the Nats feature three players drafted in the first round the past two years in the Top-12 of their drafts."
"For many of these younger prospects, this will be the first opportunity for fans to see some of these pitchers like Miguel Sime Jr. For the position players, they all have had the opportunity to appear in big league Spring Training games. It was Ronny Cruz and Alex Clemmey who have shined the brightest in their appearances."
The Nationals participate in the Spring Breakout showcase, a third-year MLB concept featuring minor league teams in exhibition games during Spring Training. Next year transitions to tournament-style single elimination play. The Nats face the Cardinals in Jupiter, Florida with Davian Garcia starting. The 27-player roster includes three first-round draft picks: Eli Willits, Gavin Fien (acquired in the MacKenzie Gore trade), and Seaver King. The lineup features Triple-A talent like Ronny Cruz batting sixth. Position players will receive three to five innings of playing time. Notable prospects include Miguel Sime Jr. and standouts Ronny Cruz and Alex Clemmey from recent Spring Training appearances.
