2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Nationals have had some impressive success in the last couple years turning unheralded prospects into major-league arms, and Lord might be the next hurler to join that list. An 18th-round pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft, the 25-year-old right-hander pitched at three levels last year, finishing his breakout campaign with a 3.93 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 57:20 K:BB over 55 Triple-A innings. His success largely came from the deception in his nearly sidearm delivery, but if Lord has developed a legitimate fastball, it could position him for a spot in the big-league bullpen at some point in 2025.

Lord (5-10) yielded five runs on five hits and two walks over four innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against the White Sox.
Analysis
Lord coughed up three home runs in the ugly loss, including Miguel Vargas' two-run shot in the first inning. Lord had given up three long balls over his previous 23 innings before Sunday's contest. He entered August with a 3.27 ERA but will finish the 2025 campaign with a 4.34 ERA over 130.2 frames. Lord produced a 2.79 ERA in 38.2 innings out of the bullpen. He also registered a 108:43 K:BB during his rookie season.
