Williams will be recognized in a pregame ceremony ahead of Monday’s 6:45 p.m. game vs. the Atlanta Braves.

Washington Nationals pitcher Trevor Williams has been named the Club’s nominee for the 2025 Roberto Clemente Award presented by Capital One, Major League Baseball announced today. Williams is recognized for his continuous work with Project 34, which aims to improve the lives of spinal cord injury survivors and caregivers by providing financial relief to families, as well as his support of the Nationals’ military initiatives. As part of the league-wide celebration of Roberto Clemente Day, Williams will be recognized in a pregame ceremony before Monday’s 6:45 p.m. game vs. the Atlanta Braves.

In honor of the late humanitarian Roberto Clemente, Major League Baseball annually bestows the prestigious award to the player who best represents the game of baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions – both on and off the field. Fans are eligible to vote for Williams at mlbtogether.com/ClementeAward through the end of the regular season, Sunday, Sept. 28.

Inspired to action when a spinal cord injury left his Arizona State University teammate Cory Hahn paralyzed in 2011, Williams and Hahn established their nonprofit, Project 34, in support of those who have suffered similar life-altering injuries and faced rehabilitation journeys. In 2024, Project 34 provided more than $220,000 in aid to 144 individuals and is on pace to exceed those marks in 2025. With nearly $600,000 in grants awarded since its founding, Project 34 has improved the quality of life for hundreds suffering from spinal cord injuries, restoring hope, independence, and a focus on living fulfilling, empowered lives. Working closely with Washington Nationals Philanthropies, the Club’s charitable arm, Williams has also facilitated an annual Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day at Nationals Park. Each year, the Nationals support Project 34’s efforts by designating proceeds from the 5050 Raffle to the nonprofit’s fundraising efforts, as well as hosting individuals living with spinal cord injuries at Nationals Park.

In addition to his work with Project 34, Williams has committed to volunteering his time and support for our nation’s active-duty military service members and veterans. He has participated in the Nats on Base leadership forum, made base visits to military personnel and has built heartfelt connections with families from the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), including a recent pregame meet-and-greet before the Nationals annual Heroes Day celebration on Friday, Sept. 12.
