Jacob Young | Fantasy Outlook

Jacob Young continues setting the table despite Washington's slide

Young has displayed excellent plate discipline lately, hitting .296 with a .406 on-base percentage and two stolen bases over his last 14 days. Even as the last-place Nationals struggle through a seven-game losing skid at 67-81, Young continues to see everyday playing time in center field while flashing highlight-reel defense.

The contact ability has stabilized his overall line to a .249 average, and his 10 home runs on the year have already comfortably outpaced our preseason projection of three. Still, with no homers and just one extra-base hit across his past 11 contests, his offensive value is virtually tied to singles and stolen base attempts.

Washington finishes the week hosting a three-game weekend series against the Angels. He draws favorable matchups against vulnerable starters Yusei Kikuchi (4.96 ERA) and Grayson Rodriguez (6.58 ERA), balanced by a stiffer test against Walbert Urena (2.79 ERA). Unless your roster is desperate for stolen bases, his lack of run production warrants leaving him on the bench. Sit.
