Between Roman Anthony, Jac Caglianone, and Jacob Misiorowski, several elite prospects are already making an impact in the Majors.
So, who might replace them atop the prospect rankings? Maybe the answers are in this year’s draft class.
The 2025 MLB Draft will be a two-day event as part of the All-Star Week Festivities in Atlanta. The first round begins on Sunday evening; coverage picks back up on Monday morning with Rounds 4-20.
There are many high-level prospects expected to hear their name called early on Sunday, beginning with Ethan Holliday. Holliday, a high school shortstop out of Stillwater, Oklahoma, is the latest in an impressive lineage: His brother, Jackson, was the No. 1 overall pick in 2022 by the Orioles, while their father, Matt, was a seven-time All-Star.
Beyond Holliday, several college arms seem poised to become top-10 picks. There’s fiery right-hander Liam Doyle (Tennessee), stalwart left-hander Kade Anderson (LSU), southpaw Jamie Arnold (Florida State), and right-hander Kyson Witherspoon (Oklahoma).
Here’s everything that you need to know about watching the 2025 MLB Draft, including start times for both days.
