The Rebels had just one player drafted on day one of the 2025 MLB Draft. It was RHP Mason Morris, who was taken 83rd overall in the 3rd round by the Cincinnati Reds. This is the first Rebels taken on day 1 since 2023 and the highest Rebel pitcher drafted since Doug Nikhazy and Gunnar Hoglund.
The Rebels do expect several other current players and signees to hear their name called as the rest of the rounds in the draft will start today at 11:30 AM EST. The draft will be livestreamed on MLB.com. Of course it benefits the Rebels if guys like Coy James and Judd Uttermark slid farther in the draft, giving them more of a shot of keeping them on the roster.
