Tonghini was preceded by outfielders Brendan Summerhill and Aaron Walton, shortstop Mason White and catcher Adoyns Guzman as 2025 MLB draftees. Arizona had four players selected in the 2024 MLB Draft and five taken in 2023.
Tonghini will slot in at $302,500. Washington has gone pitching heavy in their draft. Washington previously chose high school pitchers Landon Harmon and Miguel Sime Jr.
