Spring Breakout lineups: Nats vs. Mets on MASN

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – There’s another game to play this afternoon. After the Nationals' and Rays’ big leaguers met in an official Grapefruit League contest, the Nats' and Mets’ top prospects now meet in this year’s Spring Breakout game. (OK, the Nationals already played a breakout game Friday against the Astros, but I was with the major league club in North Port that day, so it doesn’t count.)

Because a lot of Nats top prospects are already in big league camp, the breakout roster features some younger kids and some lesser-known names. But there’s still plenty to be interested in. Seaver King, the 2024 first-round pick, is leading off and playing shortstop. Elijah Green, the 2022 first-round pick, is batting third and starting in center field. Caleb Lomavita, the 2024 sandwich pick acquired in the Hunter Harvey trade, is batting fifth and catching.

On the mound, it’s Alex Clemmey, the promising young lefty acquired last summer from the Guardians in the Lane Thomas trade. Clemmey is only 19, and he has yet to pitch above low Single-A Fredericksburg, but he’s got a live arm and has impressed club officials since joining the organization.

You can watch today’s breakout game on MASN, so be sure to check it out and get perhaps your first look at the Nationals of the future.
