Scouting Report

2026

Kent starred in both baseball and football as an Illinois high schooler before heading to the University of Arizona. He went from a redshirt freshman in 2022 to the Wildcats’ Friday night starter in '24, and that ascent, along with an impressive Cape Cod League run, pushed him to the Nationals in the fourth round. He posted a 4.61 ERA with 132 strikeouts over 123 innings between High-A and Double-A in his first full season, and his 18.5 K-BB percentage was best in the Washington system.

The 6-foot-3 left-hander generates huge extension, allowing him to lower his release height and create a difficult angle for opposing batters. His fastball only sat 91-93 mph (touching 95) in 2025, but the ride on the pitch showed more promise than that. Early spring reports indicate that Kent could be set to add a little extra velo in his second full season. Maybe the best thing his current heater does, however, is set up his plus changeup, an 80-83 mph armside offering with just the right amount of velo separation and movement to keep righties swinging over it time and again. (The pitch had a 51 percent whiff rate in 2025.) Kent can also spin a mid-80s slider against lefties and flips in an upper-70s curveball, though the command of the latter can be all over.

There is some effort in Kent’s delivery to get to his extension, and his walk rate did jump from 6.5 percent at High-A to 10.7 in a limited Double-A sample. But the southpaw commands the fastball well enough to deliver strikes, while setting up the changeup for chase. If the velo bump holds, he could be a backend rotation candidate in the Majors by the end of his age-23 season.

2025

After starring in both baseball and football back home in Illinois, Kent headed to the University of Arizona, where he redshirted in 2022 and worked as a reliever in 2023. He headed to the Cape Cod League that summer and put himself squarely on the radar with a 2.52 ERA and 27 strikeouts in six starts (25 innings). The Wildcats made Kent their Friday night starter, and he handled himself well with the elevated role, posting a 4.08 ERA with 89 strikeouts in 86 frames. The Nationals selected him in the fourth round and signed him to a $625,000 bonus.

The 6-foot-3 southpaw has a full bevy of pitches that can leave hitters guessing. He bumped up his fastball velocity ahead of the Draft to sit 90-93 mph, and he touched as high as 96. The pitch can play better than the velo too with a flat approach from a lower angle in his delivery. Kent’s 82-84 mph changeup is his most effective offering – one that works well down and armside leading to whiffs and groundballs. He has two different breaking pitches in a low-80s slider and mid-70s curve. The former was slightly more effective at missing bats in school, but the latter can drop in for an easy strike too.

Kent had some control issues on the Cape but was much better at sticking to the zone with the Wildcats in the spring. With only one year as a starter against quality competition under his belt, Kent could keep building on his 2024 gains, but even if he’s capped at being a hurler with a deep arsenal but no true plus pitch, that could still work in the back of future MLB rotations.

2024

Kent was a two-sport standout at his Illinois high school, playing wide receiver, quarterback and punting for three years while pitching varsity for four years and attracting the attention of the University of Arizona. He redshirted his freshman year in 2022, then worked mostly as a reliever in his first collegiate action, racking up 41 innings. His excellent performance as a starter in the Cape Cod League served notice that he might be ready to jump on the Draft map this spring, and he did just that serving as a very effective Friday night starter for the Wildcats. The Nationals selected him in the fourth round and signed him for $625,000.

An athletic 6-foot-3 left-hander, Kent can come at hitters with as many as five pitches. He is throwing his fastball a tick harder these days. After averaging around 89 mph last year and over the summer, he sat comfortably in the low 90s and touching 95 this spring. His go-to secondary pitch is his changeup that generates both swings-and-misses and ground-ball contact. He has both a low-80s slider and a mid-70s curve, with the former missing more bats, and he also folds in a cutter that is often similar to the slider.

While Kent was effective on the Cape, he did struggle with consistent strike-throwing. He improved that considerably this spring while handling the pressures of being the team ace. His ceiling might be somewhat limited without plus stuff, but if the gains he’s shown this year are real, he has the kind of starting pitching traits from the left side that many teams covet.

Pitch Movement

How this works: This section shows two different ways to evaluate pitch movement. On the left, “Total Movement” shows the real-world movement of a pitch, including the forces of gravity, which affects every pitch thrown. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren't 'better' just because they have more time to move, a pitch's movement is compared to other pitches of the same pitch type, within +/- 2 MPH and +/- 0.5 feet of extension/release. On the right, Induced Movement (or IVB) is reported without gravity, and attempts to isolate movement created by the pitcher's ability to spin and manipulate the ball.

Statcast Pitching Run Value (Leveraged)

These run values are leveraged, meaning the base/out situation at the time of the event does impact the run value (thus introducing context outside the batter's own contribution).
