Washington Nationals infield prospect Brady House has begun to heat up at Triple-A. On Saturday, House tallied four hits, including two home runs. Then on Sunday, he extended his current hitting streak to three games. Since holding a solid .269/.333/.423 line with just three doubles and one home run during the first 14 games of the Triple-A regular season, House has held a strong .368/.429/.684 slash line over his previous five contests. Last summer, the former 11th overall selection spent time with Double-A before earning a promotion to Triple-A. Across his first taste of Triple-A action last season, House held a .250/.280/.375 line. This is a great sign to see House begin to find his power swing at the Triple-A level. If he continues to hit for power, he could be in the mix for an early-season MLB debut.
Washington Nationals third base prospect Brady House blasted his first home run of the season in a 2-for-3 day at the plate for Triple-A Rochester on Thursday. After going hitless in four at-bats in the first game of the season, the former 11th-overall draft pick has three multi-hit games in his last four, now slashing .350/.381/.600 on the young season. The Nats' top offensive prospect showed well in limited Grapefruit League play earlier this spring, going 7-for-21 (.333) with one stolen base and a 4:4 BB:K but was sent to Triple-A to begin the 2025 campaign. With a strong showing at the highest level of the minors, fantasy managers should expect the 6-foot-4 slugger to be in D.C. later this season. Power-needy managers in NL-only and deeper leagues could consider rostering him, but problematic chase and strikeout rates could be a drain on batting average once he gets to the majors.
Washington Nationals third base prospect Brady House was reassigned to minor-league camp on Wednesday. The 2021 first-round draft pick had a solid showing this spring, going 7-for-21 (.333) with one stolen base and a 4:4 BB:K. The Nats will roll with veteran Paul DeJong at third for the time being while House will get more seasoning in the minors before he gets the call to the big leagues. The 6-foot-4 slugger ascended to Triple-A by midseason last year and slashed .250/.280/.375 with six home runs in 224 at-bats, but registered a high 28.8 percent K% and a low 3.0 percent BB%. Big power can come with lots of strikeouts, but Washington will probably want to see him have a bit more success before giving him a shot in the majors. The Nationals' fourth-ranked prospect could have an immediate impact, though, and fantasy managers should stay vigilant for any positive developments as the season progresses.
Trey Lipscomb, Jose Tena, Brady House Likely To Compete At 3B
MASN's Bobby Blanco writes that Washington Nationals infielders Trey Lipscomb, Jose Tena and Brady House are the most likely candidates to compete for the starting third base job in spring training this year. Lipscomb, 24, has the most MLB experience of the trio after making his big-league debut in 2024 and hitting .200/.268/.232 with a homer, 10 RBI and 11 steals in 61 games. He showed a strong glove, but Lipscomb was optioned four times in six months and recalled five times. Tena, 23, started 34 of the team's final 44 games at third and hit .274 with three homers, 15 RBI and six steals in 41 games with the Nats. He didn't outshine Lipscomb in the field but was much more impressive with the bat and produced nice exit velocities. House, 21, has been good on offense and defense but he has only made 51 appearances at third at Triple-A. The former first-rounder has more long-term upside but also needs more experience.
The Washington Nationals have invited third base prospect Brady House to major-league spring training this year, which begins next month. Per MLB Pipeline, House is the team's No. 3 prospect. In addition to House, right-hander Jarlin Susana (No. 4), catcher Caleb Lomavita (No. 10), first baseman/third baseman Yohandy Morales (No. 9), third baseman Cayden Wallace (No. 11), outfielder Daylen Lile (No. 12) and outfielder Andrew Pinckney (No. 28) were invited to MLB camp. The 21-year-old House, the 11th overall pick in 2021, hit only .241/.297/.402 with a .699 OPS, 19 home runs, 66 RBI, six steals and 68 runs scored in 129 games at Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester last year. His aggressiveness at the plate led to a high strikeout rate and might have pushed his timeline back as Washington's third baseman of the future.
Washington Nationals third base/shortstop prospect Brady House went 2-for-2 with two long balls and three RBI on Thursday evening. This was his first multi-home run game of the 2024 campaign. Since moving up to Triple-A Rochester on July 7, the infielder has held a solid .283/.301/.495 slash line with five home runs, 21 RBI, six doubles, and a 3:25 BB:K ratio. House opened the summer by receiving his second look at Double-A and posted a .234/.310/.423 line. House is worth following in deeper redraft leagues as he may earn a brief taste of the majors in the coming weeks. He is shaping up to be the third baseman of the future in D.C. and could be a full-time major league player next summer.
Brady House Has A Chance To Become Nationals Third Baseman This Year
Washington Nationals infield prospect Trey Lipscomb has taken over third-base duties after the team released Nick Senzel earlier this month. While Lipscomb's defense has been solid at the hot corner, he's hit a disappointing .234/.296/.269 in 160 plate appearances. Meanwhile, infield prospect Brady House was recently promoted to Triple-A Rochester, where he's gone 4-for-12 with two doubles. If he continues to impress with the bat at the highest minor-league level, MASN's Mark Zuckerman suggests there's a real chance that House becomes the Nationals' starting third baseman before the end of the 2024 season. Lipscomb's big-league upside is probably as a utility infielder, while House profiles as the team's third baseman of the future. Although this possibility probably wouldn't play out until late August or September, House is worth stashing in deeper single-year fantasy leagues just in case.
Washington Nationals third base prospect Brady House recorded his first hit for Triple-A Rochester in his first game with the Red Wings on Tuesday. The Nationals' No. 3 prospect earned a promotion to Triple-A after hitting .234 with 13 homers and 34 RBI for Double-A Harrisburg. The 21-year-old was a first-round pick of the Nationals in the 2021 draft out of high school and has progressed to the highest level of the minors. With premium power and a big frame, House profiles as a future run producer for Washington. His first Triple-A hit is a good start as he tries to earn one final promotion on the way to a big-league debut.
Washington Nationals third base prospect Brady House has been promoted to Triple-A Rochester. The Nationals' No. 3 overall prospect hit .234 at Double-A Harrisburg with 13 homers and 34 RBI prior to his call-up to Triple-A. The 21-year-old is another in the long line of Nationals prospects making a rapid progression through the minor leagues following the footsteps of top prospects James Wood and Dylan Crews. House has a big, physical frame at 6-foot-4 and 208 pounds and possesses 60-grade power with a 55-grade hit tool. If he impresses at Triple-A, House could earn a look at the big leagues at the end of this year, but next year might be the more likely scenario.
Washington Nationals third base prospect Brady House had a stellar start to June while playing for Double-A Harrisburg. From June 1 to 19, he slashed .259/.333/.463 with five doubles, two home runs, and seven RBI. However, he struggled for the rest of the month. Over the last nine games, he slashed .182/.206/.394 with a double, two homers, and six RBI. Overall, House is slashing .236/.310/.434 with 10 doubles, 13 homers, and 34 RBI this season. Washington's No. 3 prospect (per MLB.com) is expected to make his MLB debut sometime next year.
