The Book on Drew Storen

Prospect Info

Drew Storen
Born 8/11/1987
RHP, WAS

A righthander who worked as both a starter and a reliever for Stanford, Drew Storen is a smallish pitcher with a good mix of raw stuff and polished command. As a sophomore draftee, he's a bit rougher than most college pitchers and will likely need more time in the minors than most, but he's a solid all around ballplayer with an excellent future, whether it's in the middle of the rotation or the bullpen. With the recent locking-in of Matt Capps to close in Washington for 2010 and 2011, it looks like Storen's future is a little further away than some had hoped, which might give the Nats time to examine his potential as a starter, too.

Player Updates and Notes

With the trade of Matt Capps to the Twins, rookie Drew Storen will receive at least some, if not all, of the Nationals' save opportunities for the rest of the year. He should be the team's unchallenged closer by Opening Day 2011.

Drew Storen is being called up to join the very hot Washington Nationals this week. The Nats already have Matt Capps secured to a two-year deal, and he's been exceptionally good at closer, so this seems more like a get-Storen-accustomed mission than any sort of foreshadowing. Storen may grow into a setup role for 2011, though.
