The 2025 MLB Draft starts tonight at 5 p.m. CT with rounds 1 through 3. The Nationals are on the clock. The Cubs have the 17th pick of the first round. You can watch the draft on MLB Network or the first round on ESPN. The draft will also be available for free streaming at MLB.com and MLB.tv.
This year’s draft doesn’t have a clear number one and so there’s a lot of uncertainty as to how things will go. Adding to this is that the Nationals fired general manager Mike Rizzo just a week ago and no one knows what interim GM Mike DeBartolo is thinking.
