Yasel Eneudy Antuna (born October 26, 1999) is a Dominican professional baseball infielder in the Washington Nationals organization.

The Nationals signed Antuna to a minor league contract as an amateur free agent out of the Dominican Republic on July 2, 2016. They gave Antuna a $3.9 million signing bonus, the largest they had ever awarded an international free agent by $2.4 million to that point.[1] Antuna was described by scouts at the time as a potential five-tool player who profiled as a future everyday shortstop in the major leagues.[2]

Antuna debuted professionally in the Gulf Coast League with the GCL Nationals in 2017, appearing in games at shortstop and third base. He played in both games of a double-header on July 23, 2017, in which the GCL Nationals no-hit the GCL Marlins in both seven-inning games, committing a throwing error in the second game that accounted for one of the Marlins' two baserunners in the contest.[3] Midseason rankings that month by MLB Pipeline ranked Antuna as the Nationals' eighth-best prospect.[4] Antuna finished his 2017 season with a .301 batting average in the Gulf Coast League, playing mostly shortstop with several appearances at third base as well.[5]

In August 2018, Antuna underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery.[6] Antuna appeared in three games for the GCL Nationals late in the 2019 season, after which Baseball America ranked him as the Nationals' ninth-best prospect.[7] Antuna was a non-roster invitee to the Nationals' 60-man player pool for the 2020 season, which was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] After the season, the Nationals selected Antuna's contract, promoting him to the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[9]

Antuna was assigned to the High-A Wilmington Blue Rocks to begin his 2021 campaign, alongside a number of other Washington top prospects.[10] On December 1, 2022, Antuna was sent outright off of the 40-man roster.[11]

On June 11, 2018, Muñoz signed with the Atlanta Braves as an international free agent. He made his professional debut that year with the Dominican Summer League Braves.

On November 15, 2022, the Braves added Muñoz to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[149] Muñoz was optioned to the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers to begin the 2023 season.[150] In 14 games for Gwinnett (and 1 start for Double-A Mississippi), Muñoz registered a 4.94 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 27+13 innings of work. On June 6, 2023, Muñoz was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[151] He was optioned back to Gwinnett on June 8 after Michael Tonkin was activated from the injured list. In turn, he became a phantom ballplayer, having spent time on Atlanta's active roster without appearing in a game.[152] On July 13, Muñoz was designated for assignment following the promotion of Lucas Luetge.[153]

On July 17, 2023, Muñoz was claimed off waivers by the Washington Nationals.[154]

Todd Peterson

Todd Peterson
Washington Nationals
Pitcher
Born: (1998-01-22) January 22, 1998 (age 26)
St. Petersburg, Florida
Bats: Right
Throws: Right

Todd Richard Peterson (born January 22, 1998) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Washington Nationals organization.

A pure pitcher in high school and a reliever for the Louisiana State University Tigers in college, Peterson attracted some media attention when he batted for himself and drove in a pair of runs in an extra-innings win over South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference tournament in 2018. Peterson later told reporters that he had convinced LSU manager Paul Mainieri to let him swing away by telling him he hit "bombs" in high school, which was a lie—Peterson's high school coach at Lake Mary High School had never let him bat in a game, he confessed.[163]

In the 2019 Major League Baseball draft, the Washington Nationals used their seventh-round pick to select Peterson out of LSU.[163] Peterson opted to sign with the Nationals and was assigned to the Class-A Short Season Auburn Doubledays.[164] He appeared in nine games with Auburn in 2019, both in relief and as a starter, posting a 3.19 ERA.

Peterson missed the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic that canceled all minor league play. He pitched in the Nationals' instructional league in Florida after the season.[165] In 2021, Peterson was invited to major league spring training with the Nationals,[166] who chose to keep him with the major league team until nearly the end of spring camp. After being reassigned to the minors,[167] Peterson was placed on the High-A Wilmington Blue Rocks roster to begin the minor league season.[10] Peterson pitched for the Surprise Saguaros of the Arizona Fall League after the 2021 season, one of eight players representing the Nationals. He closed out the final game of the regular season for the Saguaros,[168] who went on to lose the championship game to the Mesa Solar Sox,[169] and was the sole National to appear in the Fall Stars Game.[170]

As of 2021, Peterson sports a fastball up to about 98 miles per hour (158 km/h) and a developing slider.[166]

Visalia, California
Bats: Right
Throws: Right

Holden William Powell (born September 9, 1999) is an American professional baseball relief pitcher in the Washington Nationals organization.

Powell played for the Bruins at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he served as the team's primary closer in 2019 and 2020. In 2019, he briefly played collegiate summer baseball with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[171] He was drafted in the third round by the Nationals in the abbreviated 2020 draft and chose to sign with the team, appearing later that summer in instructional league in Florida.[172]

Before the 2021 season, Powell ranked as the Nationals' 20th-best prospect, according to MLB Pipeline.[173] He was assigned to High-A Wilmington, along with several other top Nationals prospects, to begin the season that May.[10]

Powell employs a fastball and a slider as his main pitches. He uses a changeup and a curveball less frequently, relying on the slider as his primary "out pitch" while working up to 97 miles per hour (156 km/h) with his fastball.[174]

Indianapolis, Indiana
Bats: Right
Throws: Right

Roland Reid Schaller (born April 2, 1997) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Washington Nationals organization.

As a redshirt freshman at Vanderbilt University, Schaller was draft-eligible in 2018. The Nationals selected him in the third round of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft, also taking his Commodore teammate, Chandler Day, in the seventh round.[175]

Schaller signed with Washington and made his professional debut, reaching Class-A Short Season with the Auburn Doubledays in 2018. Slowed by an injury,[176] Schaller progressed in 2019, pitching in the rotation for the Class-A Hagerstown Suns.[177]

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Schaller was unable to play in the 2020 season, although he appeared at the Nationals' instructional league in Florida later that year.[178] He made his 2021 debut out of the bullpen with the High-A Wilmington Blue Rocks, to which he was assigned along with several other top Nationals prospects.[10]

Schaller's primary pitch is a fastball that has hit 97 miles per hour (156 km/h) in relief appearances. He offsets it with a slider and a nascent changeup.[179]

Abrams were traded to the Washington Nationals in exchange for Juan Soto and Josh Bell.[181] He started his Nationals career with the Florida Complex League Nationals and was promoted to the Fredericksburg Nationals after two starts.[182][183]
