Recalled to big leagues
The Nationals recalled Hassell from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hassell rebounded from a slow start at Rochester this season with a .339/.381/.559 batting line and four home runs so far in May. The 23-year-old's prospect shine has worn since he was included by the Padres as part of a trade package for Juan Soto, but the tools are still there and he could get an opportunity in the Washington outfield while Dylan Crews (oblique) is on the 10-day injured list and Jacob Young (shoulder) is banged up. Hassell is starting in center field and batting seventh Wednesday versus Atlanta in his major-league debut.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
At the time of the Juan Soto trade, many may have seen Hassell as the headliner of a stacked five-player package the Nationals received from San Diego. However, it quickly became clear that James Wood is the best prospect the Nationals got back, and C.J. Abrams and MacKenzie Gore (and even Jarlin Susana) also have a shot to exceed Hassell's contributions. When a hit-tool first prospect starts showcasing hit tool concerns (28.7 K% in 27 games at Double-A), it can be a red flag, and Hassell's power didn't spike to go along with the elevated strikeout rate. He has never walked less than 10% of the time, so he could be a leadoff or No. 2 hitter if he only has a 55-grade hit tool, especially in Washington. Hassell is an aggressive, above-average runner, so double-digit steals should be there as well. However, there's a chance Hassell ends up being just a slightly better version of Lane Thomas, and there's an argument for selling low on the 21-year-old center fielder in dynasty this winter. He broke a hamate bone in his hand during the Arizona Fall League, but is expected to be ready for spring training.
