Outlook Jacob Young

Jacob Young's Surprising Power Outbreak Fuels Deep-League Fantasy Value

Jacob Young continues to anchor center field for the third-place Nationals, who currently sit at an even 33-33 record. Over his last 14 days, Young has hit .235 with two home runs and two steals. Now fully past a mid-May rib contusion, his everyday role as the primary center fielder remains completely secure.

The big story is Young's sudden power development, having already crushed eight home runs this season after managing just five total over his entire career entering the year. While our models expect this power to regress toward his career .330 slugging baseline, his speed is the real prize, as our projections slate him for 16 more stolen bases.

Washington plays six games this week, starting with a three-game road series against San Francisco's hittable arms, including Adrian Houser and his elevated 5.71 ERA. They then return home to face a stingy Seattle rotation featuring Bryce Miller. With his rare blend of active speed and surprising pop, Young is a strong starting option. Start.
