2025 MLB draft tracker live updates: Picks and analysis

The 2025 MLB draft begins at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN, with the Washington Nationals starting things off with the No. 1 pick.

What will the Los Angeles Angels, Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals do as they follow Washington in the top five? And who will be the biggest steals -- and stretches -- of Day 1?
