Drum roll, please. And the winner is ...

On Thursday, March 10, the Nationals gave you, the fans, 24 hours to vote for which player you wanted to see as a bobblehead to be given away at Nats Park on Sept. 9. All players on the Nationals roster who never had a Nats bobblehead or figurine before were eligible, and Natstown has spoken.

Michael A. Taylor white close.jpg Taylor beat out other fan favorites such as Tanner Roark, Jose Lobaton and Trea Turner, and was announced as the winner on MASN's "Nats Xtra" pregame show on opening day.

Here are some career highlights for Taylor:

* He was drafted by the Nationals out of Westminster Academy (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) in the sixth round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft
* He made his major league debut on Aug. 12, 2014 against the Mets at Citi Field when he also hit his first career home run
* He hit 14 homers with 63 RBIs in 138 games last year
* He is coming off a ridiculous spring training, slashing .455/.500/.841 with four home runs, 15 RBIs and three stolen bases

Congratulations, Michael A., you can add Fan Choice Bobblehead winner to that list!

Watch Taylor all season long as he figures to play an integral part of this Nationals team coming off the bench and in the outfield, and we'll see you at the ballpark on Sept. 9!
