Late Season Breakout: Daylen Lile
A quick-hit series looking at some late-season breakouts to know for next year
Daylen Lile! A name I had not heard of before late summer 2025. He’s 22 years old and was not even in the Nationals top 30 prospects this year.
That makes this late-season breakout all the more surprising or confusing or intriguing or whatever word you wanna freakin’ use!
The minor league stats prior to this year were not impressive:
Just 15 homers in two seasons coming into 2025, and nothing special in any way with the batting average. The steals were there, but that doesn’t mean very much in terms of your chances of getting to the bigs.
