The 2025 MLB Draft has finally arrived, kicking off Sunday, July 13 in Atlanta as part of All-Star Week festivities. The Washington Nationals will be on the clock with the coveted No. 1 overall pick once the action begins.
This year’s draft unfolds over two days. The first three rounds will take place on Sunday, July 13, while the remaining rounds—four through 20—are scheduled for Monday, July 14.
Unlike recent years, there's a lot of uncertainty surrounding the top of the board. Some mock drafts point to standout high school talents like slick-fielding shortstop Ethan Holliday or flame-throwing righty Seth Hernandez. Others lean toward proven college stars such as LSU ace Kade Anderson or Oregon State’s dynamic infielder Aiva Arquette. What order they come off the board, though, remains anyone’s guess.
From how to watch and stream to the full draft order, here’s your one-stop guide to the 2025 MLB Draft.
