## Resource

The Nationals just made a hometown splash by locking down their first draft pick under new leadership — 21-year-old second baseman Chris Hacopian, selected 11th overall. He signed right at his local ballpark in front of family and fans, complete with a stadium tour, making it a dream moment for a kid who grew up a Nationals fan and even played high school ball in Potomac, Maryland. Ranked 14th by MLB Pipeline, Hacopian lit up Texas A&M with a .319 average, 11 homers, and 41 RBIs — earning All-SEC honors. His dad once played for Maryland before being drafted by Cleveland in ’92, adding another layer to this sweet, local homecoming. With Paul Toboni now in charge, this signing feels like the start of something special. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
