"Jarlin Susana, ranked as the third-best prospect in the Nationals organization, as well as the 87th-best prospect by MLB Pipeline. He came to the Nationals in the Juan Soto deal from the San Diego Padres in 2022 and would be the last player from the deal to get called up to the big club. In parts of four minor league seasons, his win-loss record may not be impressive, at 6-20, with a 4.03 ERA and a WHIP of over 1.3; however, he has 12.8 strikeouts per nine innings,"
"The Nationals organization, still run by then-GM Mike Rizzo, saw some great potential in Susana and was a part of the massive package the Nationals got in return for Juan Soto. He will strike out many batters, but if he limits the runs he allows, he will be a future All-Star. With Pipeline having his MLB ETA set for 2026, we could see him next year, if a pitcher on the MLB roster is designated for assignment, traded, or suffers an injury."
Paul Toboni was named general manager and Blake Butera was hired as manager, replacing Dave Martinez and Miguel Cairo. Toboni will emphasize player development across all organizational levels. Jarlin Susana is the Nationals' third-ranked prospect and 87th overall per MLB Pipeline; he was acquired in the Juan Soto trade from the Padres in 2022. Susana's minor-league record is 6-20 with a 4.03 ERA and a WHIP above 1.3, but he averages 12.8 strikeouts per nine innings and posted 15.2 K/9 in 2025 between High-A Wilmington and Double-A Harrisburg. Pipeline lists an MLB ETA of 2026 for Susana, though roster moves or injuries could produce a call-up sooner. Christian Franklin is the Nationals' 12th-ranked prospect and a fourth-round pick by the Chicago Cubs in 2021.
