Bellinger played 130 games in the outfield in 2026, 123 of them in left field, and had 21 defensive runs saved, third in baseball. Pete Crow-Armstrong won the National League award.

Nationals reportedly extend center fielder Jacob Young on a four-year, $23 million deal with a fifth-year option.
According to SB Nation, the deal includes an $8 million option for a fifth season, citing a source familiar with the contract. The fan-site writer says the Nationals now have James Wood, Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and Young under control into the 2030s, which creates a surplus that could be traded. The writer argues a trade of Young is now unlikely, and that Crews has the higher offensive ceiling while Young is the better defender.
