Brady House took a step forward in 2026 for the Nationals but the best is yet to come

Washington Nationals infielder Brady House put together an encouraging campaign during the 2026 season, raising his batting average to .247 with a .710 OPS while securing his role at third base moving forward. Although he struggled against right-handed pitching with a .200 mark across 220 at-bats, he excelled tremendously when facing left-handers, posting a .350 average and a .975 OPS.

Advanced metrics indicate promising underlying indicators, as his expected weighted on-base average, expected batting average, and hard-hit rate all finished at least in the 63rd percentile. Furthermore, he improved his plate discipline by lowering his chase rate and boosting his walk rate to 8.2%, setting the stage for a potential breakout next year.
