Washington Nationals 2015 Top 20 Prospects
The Nationals already have one of the best starting rotations in the big leagues and it looks like it will only get better in the next few years with Lucas Giolito getting closer to making his major league debut. Giolito got a future superstar ranking from us based on his upper-90s fastball to go with great breaking stuff and good command. Washington has a lot of talent in their farm system, which should help keep them relevant for years to come.
