Far-Too-Early 2025 MLB Mock Draft
A Blog by Will at Overdue Sports
The 2025 MLB Draft Lottery is officially done, and the order is set. The Washington Nationals, who had just a 10.5% chance to secure the first overall pick, did just that. This will be the Nat’s first time picking at the 1.01 since Bryce Harper was selected in the 2010 MLB Draft. While I personally despise the Lottery system, specifically the rule that prevents both the A’s and White Sox from picking in the Top 10, I like the small wrinkle of the worst team not getting the 1.01 every year. The 2025 MLB draft is set for July 13, 2025, in Atlanta, and as always, I’ll be covering the College game to keep you all informed on who to watch for.
If you didn’t already know, I specialize in covering college baseball and deem myself an expert on mock-drafts when it comes to college-level players. While there are always prep guys in the mix, whom I don’t typically know that much about, nor will I claim to, I will take any opportunity to make myself look like an idiot selecting draft picks seven months before the draft takes place.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love to dive completely head first into my mock drafts, and keep it strictly to the college players. This will not be that. This is simply a thought exercise for me as I’m starting to prep for the College Baseball season and thinking about team needs for the 2025 MLB Draft. Please don’t come for me in July when 60% of these are wrong.
