Bradley Ryan Lord is a professional baseball pitcher for the Washington Nationals in Major League Baseball. Born on February 14, 2000, in Tallahassee, Florida, Lord played college baseball at Santa Fe College before continuing at the University of South Florida, where he developed into a reliable right-handed starter. He was selected by the Nationals in the 18th round of the 2022 MLB Draft and quickly worked his way through the minor leagues, showcasing a strong fastball and steady progression across multiple levels of the organization.

Lord made his MLB debut on March 30, 2025, completing a rapid rise from late-round draft pick to the big leagues. During his rookie season, he proved valuable as a versatile arm, pitching both as a starter and out of the bullpen while finishing with a 4.34 ERA and over 100 strikeouts.  Known for his work ethic and adaptability—including an offseason job before his breakout—Lord has emerged as a dependable piece of the Nationals’ pitching staff, with the potential to continue developing into either a full-time starter or a key multi-role contributor.
