The 2025 MLB Draft is here, with the first round held Sunday as part of this year’s All-Star festivities in Atlanta. The Washington Nationals had the first overall pick, a decision made all the more fascinating in the wake of the recent firings of general manager Mike Rizzo and manager Davey Martinez.

Eli Willits, son of former major league outfielder Reggie Willits, was picked first by the Nationals in Sunday's Major League Baseball draft, the club opting for the less-heralded Oklahoma prep shortstop coming into this season.
