2025 MLB mock draft 3.0: Predicting the first two rounds

The 2025 MLB draft starts Sunday, so let's project how the first round could play out this weekend with my mock draft 3.0.

The drama starts right at the top this year, as the Washington Nationals have a difficult decision to make with the No. 1 pick a week after firing their general manager.

In a year without a slam-dunk top player, Oklahoma high school star Ethan Holliday (yes, the son of former major leaguer Matt) and a group of college left-handers (LSU's Kade Anderson, Tennessee's Liam Doyle and Florida State's Jamie Arnold) rank among the top prospects in the class.
