4. Wilmer Difo, ss/2b | Born: April 2, 1992. B-T: B-R. Ht.: 5-11. Wt.: 200. Signed: Dominican Republic, 2011. Signed by: Modesto Ulloa. Background: A late bloomer, Difo struggled in the low minors before breaking out in 2014, when he won the South Atlantic League MVP award as a 22-year-old at low Class A Hagerstown. He has built on that progress, making his major league debut in 2015 and returning to Washington for much of the second half in 2016. He also earned a spot on the postseason roster thanks to his versatility and speed. Scouting Report: Difo is a well above-average runner and has an aggressive approach on the basepaths and at the plate. A switch-hitter, he has a short, quick swing. He has some wiry strength and can drive the ball into the gaps for extra-base hits but has produced below-average power in the upper levels. After moving around the infield early in his career, Difo has settled at shortstop, where he has made strides as a defender. He is still improving his consistency in the field, but he has above-average arm strength and the hands necessary to play shortstop. He also played second and third base in the big leagues. The Future: Because Difo has played only one game at Triple-A, the Nationals could send him to Syracuse to play every day at shortstop and continue to work on his defense. He also could return to Washington to reprise his role as a utility infielder. 2016 Club AVG OBP SLG AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB Harrisburg (AA) .259 .318 .354 410 59 106 15 3 6 41 34 59 28 Syracuse (AAA) .200 .200 .200 5 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 Washington (MLB) .276 .364 .379 58 14 16 3 0 1 7 8 12 3 --
