The Washington Nationals have been struggling offensively, finishing 25th in the majors last season with just 4.07 runs per game. As we dive into the 2025 season, there's a lot of speculation about whether they can turn things around. With projections suggesting a slight improvement to around 4.43 runs per game with their best lineup, the question remains: can they truly capitalize on this potential?
CJ Abrams is set to lead off, but his projected OBP of .313 raises eyebrows. Given his minor league success, is it realistic to expect him to find his footing against MLB pitching? Or are we looking at a player whose ceiling might be capped at a .330 OBP?
Moreover, the Nationals' bottom of the order seems to be a strength with players like Keibert Ruiz and Paul DeJong. But does this really offset the limitations at the top? If Abrams struggles, could a combination of Nathaniel Lowe, James Wood, and Josh Bell at the top of the order be the key to unlocking their offensive potential?
Let’s discuss! What are your bold predictions for the Nationals' offense this season? Do you think Abrams can step up, or should the team consider a shake-up in the batting order? How do you see their lineup evolving as the season progresses? Share your thoughts and insights!
