Born: June 3, 1996. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-5. Wt.: 170. Drafted: State JC of Florida, 2017 (7th round). Signed by: Buddy Hernandez.
A seventh-round pick in 2017, Tetreault signed for $300,000, which turned out to be the fourth-highest bonus of the Nationals’ class. He managed to get that bonus after impressing in the State JC of Florida rotation along with Cubs first-round pick Brendon Little.
After spending one year at Cameron University in Lawton, Okla., and working mostly out of the bullpen, Tetreault transferred to the junior college ranks, where in 2017 he started 14 games and posted a 2.58 ERA with 105 strikeouts in 80.1 innings. He has an extremely thin, projectable body with a fast, whippy arm that allowed his fastball to touch 95 mph at times and is regularly in the low 90s. Tetreault throws a curveball and a changeup, and while the former is ahead of the latter, both pitches are works in progress. The Nationals like the 21-year-old’s feel to spin the ball. Walks were an issue with Tetreault in college, and he’ll need to improve his control significantly.
There’s a lot left to be ironed out, but with increased weight and strength, Tetreault has the talent to turn into a starter prospect.
