2025 MLB Draft: Notable Players Still on the Board for Day 2

An overview of key players remaining in the MLB Draft ahead of Day 2, including standout performances and potential future picks.

Major League Baseball’s amateur draft commenced on Sunday night, with the Washington Nationals selecting prep shortstop Eli Willits first overall. This marked the third No. 1 pick in the franchise’s history, following previous selections of Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper.

This year’s draft will be concise, extending over just two days rather than the traditional three. Ahead of Day 2, here are five remarkable players still available:

1. Mason Neville, OF, Oregon

Neville delivered a stellar season with a batting line of .290/.429/.724, hitting 26 home runs and 16 doubles. Despite being a strong athlete, concerns about his swing issues remain.

2. Jack Bauer, LHP, Lincoln Way East HS (IL)

Bauer is among fans’ favorites due to his name and recorded velocity of up to 102 mph, though teams are wary of his inconsistency.

3. Cameron Appenzeller, LHP, Glenwood HS (IL)

Appenzeller experienced growth last season, but his velocity declines have affected his draft stock.

4. Nick Dumesnil, OF, California Baptist University

Previously regarded highly, Dumesnil’s performance has dipped this year, raising doubts about his future draft position.

5. Sam Horn, RHP, Missouri

Horn, who also plays quarterback for Missouri, has faced injuries but shows potential with his size and arm strength.
