MLB held its third annual draft lottery on Tuesday at baseball's winter meetings in Dallas, and the Washington Nationals landed the top pick in the 2025 draft despite having only the fourth-best odds to get the first overall selection at 10.2%.
It's still super early in the draft process, but let's jump into a quick five-pick mock draft to see how things could play out in July now that we know who will be making the first picks. All the members of last year's lottery night top-five mock landed in the top seven picks in July, so it's fair to think we have a reasonable idea how the top of the draft could play out.
