The Washington Nationals are excited about their young pitching prospect, Jarlin Susana, who is gaining recognition among elite minor league talents. In a recent poll conducted by MLB Pipeline's Jonathan Mayo, Susana tied for sixth place for having the best fastball in the minors, garnering 4.5% of the votes. His ranking is particularly notable given that he is mentioned alongside top-tier prospects such as Pittsburgh Pirates' Bubba Chandler and Japanese star Roki Sasaki, both of whom are more advanced in their careers.

Chandler has impressed with a 1.83 ERA at the Triple-A level, making him a strong contender for Rookie of the Year next season, while Sasaki boasts a stellar 2.02 career ERA in Japan. Despite being behind them in development, Susana's fastball has gained attention, reaching speeds of up to 103 MPH. Although his pitch lacks significant movement, it is effective due to its velocity and control.
