  "account": "Washington Nationals are set to call up Jackson Kent for his MLB debut this week, according to sources. The 23-year-old left-handed pitcher, ranked as the top left-handed prospect in the team's system by MLB Pipeline and Baseball America, will make his second promotion of the year after previously moving up from Double-A. Known for his deceptive delivery, strong changeup, and good command of his fastball, Kent has been a standout prospect with 105 strikeouts in 94.1 innings this season. Despite having average stuff, Kent's ability to induce swings and misses, limit hard contact, and keep the ball on the ground make him a promising addition to the rotation. Though he may face occasional struggles when off his game, his potential for a long big league career is promising.",
