CLASS OF 2026

The ‘24 Future Gamer and LSU commit stayed hot Tuesday night as he continued his tear at the plate this Spring. As he would find the barrel early and often with a pair of laced base-hit to both the pull-side as well as the back-side. Washington exudes twitch at the plate and stays well-connected with present strength in the lower half and premium bat speed to match. Ultra-competitor on the diamond and always thrives in huge spots. Is having an absurd spring at the plate and looks poised to power the offense throughout the 6A State Playoffs.

LSU commit. Washington stepped up to the plate in the top of the 7th in a tie game and proceeded to launch one over the LCF wall for a 2-run HR. Capping off an impressive stat line on the night going 2-for-3 with a HR/ 2B/ 2 SB/ and 3 RBI. The ‘24 Future Gamer displays a truly impressive hit/combo as well as showing a potent run tool. In an advanced all-fields approach, Washington flashes premium bat speed and stays balanced to deliver a well-leveraged barrel. The LSU commit is a tool-shed of an athlete and rises to the occasion when the lights shine the brightest. A top-tier talent in the ‘26 class that is a must know at a 6A powerhouse in the state in Parkview for the coming seasons and so forth.

Uncommitted. Highly projectable 6-foot-0, 195-pound frame with plenty of tools in the arsenal. Flashed the bat/hand speed and drove a ball deep to left-center that hit the top of the wall for a double, 99 exit velocity. Shows effortless, raw power as he has driven the ball consistently in both games for Team Georgia. Utilizes everything from the ground-up, leverage and tension throughout to make for a controlled and aggressive swing.

3/13/24

One of the top outfielders in the 2026 class looks the part in many facets. Strong 6-foot-0,185-pound frame with great range in CF backed by an above-average run tool that also showed up at the plate with multiple sub-4.2 home-to-1st times. At the plate, Washington shows explosive hand speed in a compact swing from the right-side. Tight turns to impact the ball pull-side but shows a strong all-fields approach that really lets the run tool thrive. High-level athlete who’s only going to keep improving.

3/11/23

Impressive battles at the plate, and already running much better than he was last summer. The twitch is becoming more noticeable in the swing and he handled a loud NG crowd, not letting them get to his head. Showed pitch recognition and discipline that are atypical of many his age.
