Nationals selected the contract of OF Jeremy De La Rosa from High-A Wilmington.
The dynamic 20-year-old outfielder from the Dominican Republic is now protected from the Rule 5 draft. De La Rosa split his 2022 season between Low-A Fredericksburg and High-A Wilmington, hitting an impressive .280/.358/.436 with 11 homers, 67 RBI and 39 stolen bases (in 46 attempts) over 101 games. He’ll either return to Wilmington to begin the 2022 season, or jump up a rung on the organizational ladder to Double-A Harrisburg.
