Career

Sykora attended Round Rock High School in Round Rock, Texas. He was selected by the Washington Nationals in the third round of the 2023 Major League Baseball draft.[1]

Sykora signed with the Nationals rather than play college baseball at the University of Texas at Austin.[2][3] He made his professional debut in 2024 with the Fredericksburg Nationals.[4][5]

Sykora started the 2025 season on the injured list after offseason hip surgery.[6][7] He made two starts each for the rookie-level Florida Complex League Nationals and Single-A Fredericksburg before being promoted to the High-A Wilmington Blue Rocks.[8][9] In June, Sykora was promoted again to the Double-A Harrisburg Senators.[10][11]
