    Clayton has been a three-year starting shortstop for Washington and ranked as the No. 185 prospect as a draft-eligible sophomore in 2023. He received interest but turned down money and opted to return to Washington for his junior season—which hasn’t quite lived up to his excellent 2023 year. Clayton slashed .275/.380/.446 with seven home runs in 49 games, with a career-high 18.3% strikeout rate and career-high 13.1% walk rate. He’s a light-hitting righthanded hitter who projects to hit at the bottom of a lineup and will need to thrive on contact skills, and to do so he’ll need to find the barrel more against quality secondaries. He has a reputation as a solid but unspectacular defender who could either slide to second base full time in pro ball or offer utility infield value.
