List of Washington Nationals first-round draft picks
The Washington Nationals are a Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise based in Washington, D.C. Prior to 2005, they were known as the Montreal Expos and based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Nationals play in the National League East division. Since the institution of MLB's Rule 4 Draft, the Expos/Nationals have selected 67 players in the first round. Officially known as the "First-Year Player Draft",〔 the Rule 4 Draft is MLB's primary mechanism for assigning amateur baseball players from high schools, colleges, and other amateur baseball clubs to its teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick. In addition, teams which lost free agents in the previous off-season may be awarded compensatory or supplementary picks. The First-Year Player Draft is unrelated to the 1968 expansion draft in which the Expos initially filled their roster.
Of the 67 players picked in the first round by Montreal or Washington, 33 have been pitchers, the most of any position; 23 of them were right-handed, while 10 were left-handed. Thirteen outfielders, nine shortstops, five third basemen, four catchers, and three first basemen were also taken. The team has never drafted a player at second base. Thirteen of the players came from high schools or universities in the state of California, and Florida follows with eight players.〔 They have also drafted two players from Puerto Rico: Josue Estrada (1993) and Hiram Bocachica (1994).〔
None of the Expos' or Nationals' first-round picks have won a World Series championship with the franchise (which has never won a World Series championship), and no pick has been elected to the Hall of Fame. None of these picks have won the MLB Rookie of the Year award, although Bill Gullickson (1977), Delino DeShields (1987), and Brad Wilkerson (1998) placed second in the voting in 1980, 1990, and 2002, respectively. The Nationals had the first overall selection twice in the draft, which they used on Stephen Strasburg (2009) and Bryce Harper (2010).〔 Condredge Holloway (1971) was drafted as a shortstop, but ended up becoming a quarterback in the Canadian Football League, and was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canadian Football Hall of Fame – Condredge Holloway )〕
The Expos/Nationals have made 19 selections in the supplemental round of the draft and six compensatory picks since their entry into the league in 1969.〔 These additional picks are provided when a team loses a particularly valuable free agent in the previous off-season,〔 or, more recently, if a team fails to sign a draft pick from the previous year. The Expos/Nationals have failed to sign four of their first-round picks: Condredge Holloway (1971), Charles Johnson (1989), John Patterson (1996), and Aaron Crow (2008). The Expos received no compensation for failing to sign Holloway, but received the 40th pick in 1990, the 52nd pick in 1997, and the 10th pick in 2009 for failing to sign Johnson, Patterson, and Crow, respectively.〔
