Travis Sykora Promoted to High-A
The Washington Nationals are set to promote right-handed pitching prospect Travis Sykora to High-A. Sykora is considered the top prospect in the Nationals' system and the No. 62 overall prospect on MLB.com. Through the early part of the campaign, Sykora needed just one appearance at Low-A to prove he was ready for High-A. Sykora underwent offseason hip surgery. In this lone stint, the right-hander tossed six one-hit innings with nine punchouts. He served up two walks. Last season, the former third-round pick logged 85 innings at Low-A and posted an impressive 2.33 ERA with a 0.91 WHIP. During this stint, he struck out 129 batters and allowed just 27 walks. Given his impressive strikeout production, Sykora should be in the mix to reach Double-A later this season.
