Rafael Bautista

Bautista excelled in his first season at Double-A in 2016, posting an impressive .344 OBP and swiping 56 bases in the process. The speedster has proven he can reach base consistently and can be a menace on the basepaths. However, his inability to hit for power has hurt him. With just four home runs in 607 plate appearances last year, he managed a measly .341 slugging percentage, something he will have to improve if he wants to become more than a major league bench player. Washington seems to be banking on this, as they added Bautista to their 40-man roster after the 2016 season, protecting him from the Rule 5 draft. Although he will likely start the season in Double-A or Triple-A, watch for the 22-year-old to work his way up the ranks and possibly earn a late callup for speed alone.
