Former Alabama Outfielder Called up to The Show
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Former Alabama outfielder and the newest member of the Washington Nationals, Andrew Pinckney, has received his first promotion to the Major League following the injury of Nats everyday outfielder James Wood.
Pinckney hit .271 in Triple-A this season, adding 12 home runs and 18 steals for the Rochester Red Wings.
The Georgia native amassed a .308 average along with 26 jacks, 101 RBI, and eight stolen bases while possessing a cannon of a right arm across three seasons with the Crimson Tide. Pinckney played a critical role in Alabama's 2023 super regional run, batting .339 with 18 home runs, 58 RBI, and 40 walks in the Tide's first super appearance since 2010.
Pinckney earned a spot on the All-SEC second team in 2023 before eventually being selected in the fourth round by the Washington Nationals.
Pinckney will look to help the Nationals, who sit five and a half games back from the last wildcard spot, make a push into the playoffs for the first time since their World Series title run in 2019.
