The 2025 Major League Baseball Draft is set to commence over two days, with rounds 1-3 on Sunday night and rounds 4-20 on Monday. The Washington Nationals secured the first overall pick after a 10.2% chance victory in the lottery. Previously, they made notable picks with Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper. Current notable prospects feature LSU’s Kade Anderson, Tennessee’s Liam Doyle, and Florida State’s Jamie Arnold, alongside high school talents Ethan Holliday (son of Matt) and Eli Willits (son of Reggie).
Unlike drafts in other sports, players will typically need to develop in the minors before making a significant impact in Major League Baseball. Attend the first round of the 2025 MLB Draft:
