6/23/25 | Concerning Trend Has Emerged for Speedy Nationals Outfielder. As the Washington Nationals navigate this rebuild, they understand they are at the point where young players are going to make mistakes at the Major League level. Jacob Young's recent deficiency was on full display during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, a contest that started off promising before things got out of hand. In the top of the seventh inning after the Nationals had just given up a game-changing grand slam that put them down 4-3, the speedy center fielder hit a single that got the tying run on first base. According to Mark Zuckerman of MASN, since the center fielder began his career a perfect 25-for-25 on stolen base attempts, he has since gone 26-for-44, a success rate of only 59% that is well below the league average of 77%.
