Yohandy Morales & Jared Simpson Debut | Washington Nationals News

Yohandy Morales, the long-awaited Nats prospect drafted in 2023, finally made his MLB debut after a stellar AAA season—where he blasted 25 homers—and capped it off with an emotional home run off AJ Smith-Shawver, while fishing with Trey Lipscomb. His family, including his Cuban-born father who once chased the big leagues himself, erupted in joy from the stands. Morales added two more hits, including a near-park double. Meanwhile, Jared Simpson, another 2023 draft pick, debuted too—joking about facing Acuña in MLB The Show while shopping for wedding clothes. He pitched brilliantly in relief, striking out Michael Harris and getting a key double play, earning his first major league win as part of a promising lefty bullpen surge.
