The Washington Nationals have the 11th overall pick in the 2026 draft, and it will be a huge first year for Paul Toboni and his front office when it comes to adding even more talent to this pipeline.
Because this will be the first draft he’s run since becoming the president of baseball operations for the Nationals, it’s unclear what positions he’s going to target and if he’ll go with a collegiate or high school player. However, there is one name that continues to pop up in mock drafts when it comes to who Washington might take at No. 11.
Liam Peterson, the flamethrowing right-handed pitcher out of the University of Florida, has previously been linked to the Nationals. And in version 3.0 of Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report’s mock draft, he has them selecting the collegiate arm.
