Washington Nationals prospect Alejandro Rosario is finally throwing again

Washington Nationals prospect Alejandro Rosario has returned to the mound for the first time in over 600 days following Tommy John surgery, marking a pivotal moment in his recovery. Acquired in last year’s trade that sent MacKenzie Gore to Miami, Rosario was the most intriguing piece of the deal—a high-upside pitcher whose career trajectory had been unpredictable.

Before his injury, he dominated the minors in 2024 with a 2.24 ERA, striking out 129 batters in just 88.1 innings while walking fewer than 4% of hitters, showcasing elite command alongside a fastball averaging 97 mph and a devastating splitter. His stuff and control had earned him top-100 prospect status, though his collegiate struggles at Miami earlier in his career had raised questions about his long-term development.
