Seaver King Selected With The Tenth Pick By Washington
5 months agoThe Washington Nationals selected infielder Seaver King from Wake Forest with the tenth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. The 21-year-old started two seasons at the Division II level before transferring to Wake Forest for his final collegiate season. King held a strong .411/.457/.699 line with an incredible 47-game hitting streak to cap off his time at the Division II level. At Wake Forest this spring, the infielder posted a solid .308/.377/.577 slash line with 16 home runs, 64 RBI, 11 stolen bases, and a 25:34 BB:K ratio. Scouts praise King for his ability to put the ball in play and his defensive flexibility, as he also made several starts in the outfield. King will now join third baseman Brady House as the top infield prospects in the nation's capital.
