Nats’ Susana turns in longest outing since ’25 with refreshed arsenal in Fall League

Washington Nationals prospect Jarlin Susana pitched five innings on Tuesday for the Salt River Rafters, marking his longest start since August 2025. The 22-year-old right-hander allowed one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out five batters in a 1-0 loss to Glendale. Susana threw 63 pitches, generating 10 swings-and-misses in the Arizona Fall League appearance.

Susana demonstrated triple-digit velocity throughout the game, hitting up to 102.9 mph and finishing his final strikeout with a 102.0 mph sinker. Along with an effective power curveball that generated five whiffs, Susana utilized a refreshed pitch mix featuring a cutter and sweeper as he works to establish himself as a starter following late 2025 lat surgery.
