On Sunday, the Washington Nationals officially traded away outfielder Jesse Winker to the New York Mets. The return? Pitching prospect Tyler Stuart.First off, the Winker move is a perfect example of how you hope things will work out when a rebuilding team signs a player. The Nationals signed Winker to a $2 million deal and he out-performed that, hitting 11 homers and playing to a .257 average.
He had been ranked as the No. 17 prospect in the Mets organization, per MLB.com, though rankings are not altered much in-season. He likely would rank higher at this point.Standing 6-foot-9 , Stuart tends to start with his low-80s slider, which he threw roughly half the time in 2023, and for good reason. The pitch can show good two-plane break and sweep, leading to above-average whiff rates especially when it’s located on the edges of the zone.
