Washington Nationals pick several prospects in 2026 MLB Draft

The Washington Nationals made a series of selections in the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft. Among the picks, third‑baseman Daniel Cuvet was taken with the 138th overall selection. The team also added outfielder Anthony Murphy, an LSU signee, who was chosen in the 16th round at No. 466 overall. Murphy, a Corona, California native, faces the typical uncertainty of later‑round picks signing with the club. The draft selections illustrate the Nationals’ effort to bolster their farm system with both high‑profile and developmental talent.
