Landon Young gives Washington a versatile, right-handed bat with pop
In the 2026 season, Washington freshman INF Landon Young has been a steady multi-position contributor, making 32 appearances with 21 starts at third base, DH, and first base while hitting .244 with a .286 OBP and .372 slugging, plus 19 hits, two triples, and two homers.[1][4][11] The appeal is the versatility and offensive upside: he’s already shown game power, can move around the infield, and has the frame and right-handed bat that hint at more growth than the stat line alone shows.[1][4] If a team wants a young corner-infield piece who can handle multiple roles and may keep climbing, Young is worth a closer look.[1][4]
