Locked On Nationals - Daily Podcast On The Washington Nationals

On today's Locked On Nationals, Ryan dives into Carter Kieboom making his first appearance since 2021 as he had Tommy John surgery last spring that sidelined him for the 2022 season. So, what can the former prospect prove this year? How much pressure does he have on him to perform right away? Especially with the emergence of a late round pick down in Spring Training, could he even start the season in AAA? Keith Law of The Athletic put out his piece on the latest MLB Draft rankings, and it is FILLED with outfielder talent at the top of the board. Early look at the draft, could the Nats draft another outfielder to add to their already loaded outfielder prospects list? Ryan answers that today.

Yesterday we got to see the Washington Nationals #1 prospect James Wood for the first time this Spring training, and that itself is exciting nonetheless. We have seen guys like James Wood in the past, but never here in DC and es[pecially when you get into what he COULD be. Because when you look at what he can be, you may not be able to see the ceiling, it's so high. Is he a true 5 star talent? And when could he sniff the major leagues? Ryan discusses it all here. CJ Abrams may be the Nationals best player so far down in spring training, and that's huge for the development of the Nationals future star shortstop. What does his fast, hot start mean for the Nats in 2023?

On today's Locked On Nationals, Ryan immediately gets to the discussion of Patrick Corbin, as he gave up 2 homeruns back-to-back against the Cardinals in his 1st inning down in Florida. While some people may be ready to move on from him, Ryan has another idea of what to do with Corbin as this could be his last hope. Do you want it to happen? Since the young prospects for the Nats have had a lot of playing time through 4 games, it's time to discuss who has impressed us the most. To highlight this list, it's an unexpected prospect that you will need to familiarize yourself with, cause he's making some noise. Then, we also have to talk about some guys who have not impressed so far down in Florida, and one of the names is someone that will need to provide in a big way for the Nats this year.

We are now on day 3 of games for the Washington Nationals during Spring Training, and guys have yet to get started on their comeback. Today's show is all about who has the MOST to prove during spring training with veterans like Victor Robles, Lane Thomas getting on the hot seats with the Nationals LOADED farm system in the outfield. There's also guys that need to work on situational pitching, and finding their command. Who has the most to prove, and who will prove the MOST? We are through one weekend with the new MLB rules, so Ryan goes through some of the big changes and talks about why he likes some of them, and why he dislikes some of them. Lastly, there's an injury in spring training that causes some concern, Ryn hashes it out at the tail end of the show and tells you what to expect.

Game 1 is in the books, and the young studs shined for the Washington Nationals! Ryan started off recapping game 1 as the Nats beat the Cardsinals 3-2 in the opener, and the young, raw talent was on display. What stood out to Ryan the most from yesterday's win? Mackenzie Gore got the nod for game 1, and showed his worth and why he should be considered one of the Nats best starting pitchers iving forward. Then, we get into day 2 of things as we have an awkward matchup with... Josiah Gray vs Max Scherzer. Ryan dives in as Scherzer faces his former team, and importantly the man he was traded for, Josiah Gray. Trevor Williams also makes his Nats debut today, can he prove to be the big acquisition that he was this offseason? Lastly, what does Manny Machado's extension mean for the future of Juan Soto with the San Diego Padres?

The Washington Nationals just named Mackenzie Gore the starter for game 1 of the Grapefruit league down in Florida. Ryan gets started with that news, and what it means for the rest of the pitching staff. Is this a big deal? But behind all of that, Davey Martinez may have shown his hand on what he's thinking as far as the Nats decision on who will start on Opening Day, who could it be? Ryan then jumps back into Spring Training mode as the Nationals have about a week or so of camp in the books, so he gets to his 3 biggest takeaways as far as Spring Training goes. Lastly, the MLB is cracking down on something... yet again. The no fun league has struck again, and Ryan is once again upset by this.

We are just about 48 hours (!!!!) from the Nationals first Spring Training showdown of 2023, and we can't wait. Ryan starts by discussing the upside with 2B Luis Garcia. Luis Garcia has had plenty of ups, and plenty of downs with the Nationals thus far. But, there's one tool to his game that sticks out A LOT when looking at his numbers. After making the switch from shortstop to second base, what kind of production will we need to see from the former top prospect in the system? Ryan explains what he sees today. TalkNats over on twitter made a great chart about the Nationals top prospects, and where they rank across the board from all sorts of prospects sites. There's one prospect in particular that is all over the place in the rankings, who in our eyes, may be the best prospect in the system. Lastly, Keibert Ruiz made an agent change that is a HUGE deal for the Nationals.

When evaluating the future of veterans with the Nats, the centerpiece of that talk starts with Victor Robles when you take out Stephen Strasburg. Victor Robles was one of the key pieces to the Nats 2019 World Series run, and has since fallen off a cliff as far as his production at the plate. Will the once former top prospect finish the season with the Nationals? Or, could the Nats explore a trade at some point this season for the stout defensive CF? President of baseball operations Mike Rizzo, is entering the final year of his contract with the organization. Ryan discusses the disaster that it would be to let Rizzo walk away from the organization, after already starting this rebuild. Then, Josiah Gray has added another pitch to his arsenal, and it is a surprising one we didn't see coming.

As you all know, Patrick Corbin has been hit around real well the last 3 years since coming off that dominant game 7 of the World Series performance. He has led the NL in earned runs twice in the last 3 years, and his strikeouts have dropped off dramatically in that span. How can Patrick Corbin get back to his form? Or, can he even reach his potential again? Ryan dives into that here, as he has some numbers that support Corbin being better in 2023. Of course it's a mailbag Monday as well, as you guys have a ton of questions about the team this season. With a young nucleus starting to take shape in this rebuild, who will take the biggest step up? Which prospect not on the 40 man roster will have the biggest impact in 2023? Ryan answers that all for you on todays Locked On Nationals podcast!
