The Major League Baseball Rule 4 First Year Player Draft for 2025 has arrived at last. Once again part of All-Star week festivities, the MLB draft will kick off at 4:00 PM MDT with the Washington Nationals selecting first overall.
This draft is critical for the Colorado Rockies in several regards. Not only does a historically bad team need to restock their farm system with quality talent, but the Rockies will also be unable to draft inside the top ten in 2026 due to anti-tanking rules in the current collective bargaining agreement.
