• Nationals' Alex Clemmey: No-hit effort at High-A

  Rotowire Aug 11, 2025

  Clemmey struck out eight and walked three over six scoreless, no-hit innings for High-A Wilmington on Sunday. The 20-year-old southpaw hasn't allowed an earned run in four straight starts, and while he has issued at least three free passes in each, he's also fanned 25 batters in 22.2 innings over that stretch. A second-round pick of the Guardians in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, Clemmey came over to the Nationals in the Lane Thomas trade last year and while his control is still a work in progress, his fastball-slider combo is proving to be too much for Sally League hitters. Given his recent dominance, a cup of coffee at Double-A before the end of the year wouldn't be a surprise.

• Nationals' Alex Clemmey: Leading Sally League in Ks

  Rotowire Jun 3, 2025

  Clemmey has posted a 3.15 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 67:38 K:BB through 11 starts and 45.2 innings for High-A Wilmington this season. The 67 Ks leads the South Atlantic League, and they've been coming in bunches -- the 19-year-old has fanned exactly nine batters in three of his last five starts, and he had a 10-strikeout performance back on April 10. Clemmey's control remains erratic, as he's issued multiple walks in every start so far in 2025, but his mid-90s fastball and slider both grade out as potential plus pitches. If the 6-foot-6 southpaw can find some consistency in his mechanics, he could still have a future as a starter, but in the long run his most likely path to the majors is as a high-leverage reliever in the Tanner Scott mold.
