Their Top 30 Prospects list -- re-ranked recently by MLB Pipeline -- includes eight new additions. Of those eight, three are on MLB’s overall Top 100 Prospects list.

Biggest jump/fall
Here are the players whose ranks changed the most from the preseason list:

Jump: T.J. White, OF (Preseason: 27 | Midseason: 20)
Drafted by the Nationals in the fifth round in 2021, White slashed .238/.333/.406 with seven home runs, 31 RBIs and 38 runs scored in his first 73 games this season with Single-A Fredericksburg. Only 19 years old, White has a projected Major League ETA of 2025.

Fall: Branden Boissiere, 1B (Preseason: 17 | Midseason: N/A)
Boissiere, a 2021 third-round pick of the Nats, dropped from the club’s Top 30 rankings. He has been playing at Single-A Fredericksburg this season, where he slashed .236/.365/.324 with three homers, 40 runs scored and 42 RBIs through his first 76 games.

New to the list
Here are the players added to the Top 30 from outside the organization:
No. 1 Robert Hassell III, OF (Acquired from Padres)
No. 2 Elijah Green, OF (2022 Draft, No. 5 overall)
No. 3 James Wood, OF (Acquired from Padres)
No. 8 Jarlin Susana, RHP (Acquired from Padres)
No. 9 Jake Bennett, LHP (2022 Draft, second round)
No. 17 Trey Lipscomb, 3B (2022 Draft, third round)
No. 21 Brenner Cox, OF (2022 Draft, fourth round)
No. 22 Jared McKenzie, OF (2022 Draft, fifth round)

Impact callup
Cade Cavalli, RHP (No. 4/MLB No. 58)
At the beginning of the year, Cavalli looked like a likely first-half debutant for the Nats. Command issues have delayed that, but the 23-year-old right-hander has been rounding into form lately, posting a 2.20 ERA with 33 strikeouts and 10 walks in his last seven starts (32 2/3 innings). A spot in the Washington rotation is there for Cavalli's taking whenever the organization deems him ready, and that time appears to be getting closer by the start.

Top 30s:
ALW: HOU | LAA | OAK | SEA | TEX
ALC: CLE | CWS | DET | KC | MIN
ALE: BAL | BOS | NYY | TB | TOR
NLW: ARI | COL | LAD | SD | SF
NLC: CHC | CIN | MIL | PIT | STL
NLE: ATL | MIA | NYM | PHI | WSH
