MLB Draft Day 2 Roundup
Digest more
From teams to players to positions to the venue, here are my biggest winners and losers after the first three rounds on Sunday.
The first three rounds of the 2025 MLB Draft have come and gone. A total of 105 players heard their names called on Sunday, and each ought to feel like a winner just on that account.
The 2025 Major League Baseball Draft began Sunday night at the Coca-Cola Roxy as part of Atlanta hosting the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. Five players from Georgia high schools and colleges heard their names called on Day 1.
The Detroit Tigers leaned into selecting late-rising prospects as part of their haul in Day 1 of the 2025 MLB Draft on Sunday. The Tigers began the night picking shortstop Jordan Yost with the No. 24 pick, followed by catcher Michael Oliveto 34th overall, righty Malachi Witherspoon in the second round and lefty Ben Jacobs in the third round.
Minnesota added another shortstop Sunday night: high schooler Quentin Young, the nephew of former Twin Delmon Young. The 6-foot-6 18-year-old is committed to Louisiana State University, and MLB.com said he "has a ton of projection, obvious baseball bloodlines and some loud tools."
Round after round passed and Novi star left-hander Uli Fernsler and Birmingham Brother Rice right-hander Blake Ilitch didn’t hear their name called.
MLB Draft is underway and the Boston Red Sox have four picks on Day 1. Follow along with our Day 1 live tracker.
Day 1 of the 2025 Draft included the Rockies' picks from Rounds 1-3, including Ethan Holliday at No. 4 overall. Day 2 begins Monday at 9:30 a.m. MT through the conclusion of the Draft, spanning Rounds 4-20.
