The name of the game is pitching. Whitey Herzog said:

If you have good pitching, catch the ball and steal bases, you win even on the moon

That’s why it’s hard to know who will be first

MLB Draft 2025: Pitcher or batter?

• There are two names that analysts are looking at to determine who could be number one in the draft. Left-hander Kade Anderson from Louisiana State University or slugger Ethan Holliday from Stillwater High School in Oklahoma
• Everyone knows that the Washington Nationals will be the first in the process. Mike Rizzo’s sudden departure put the entire analytics and baseball operations team to work
• Mike DeBartolo, who is serving as interim general manager, has had to work alongside analytics to see how he can cross the Rubicon without damaging himself

I want to make this team a perennial competitor

were the first words when he took over the office.

Rankings and possible selections in the 2025 MLB Draft: Top 3 according to ESPN and mock drafts

• Kade Anderson – LSU ace with an afro-average arsenal of 180 strikeouts in the regular season.
• 2B/3B Ethan Holliday – Tremendous power with pedigree, compared to elite prep hitters.
• 3. Liam Doyle – College pitcher with top-notch quality and elite control.

Jamie Arnold (Florida State), Seth Hernandez (prep pitcher), Eli Willits, JoJo Parker and Aiva Arquette appear in the mocks between picks 4 – 10

The 2025 draft class is an interesting mix of collegiate dominance and youthful talent explosion. Kade Anderson looks like the safe option, while Ethan Holliday offers spark with his natural power. However, with talents such as Liam Doyle and others on the radar, the draft promises to be unpredictable.

What is clear is that the 2025 MLB Draft on July 13 will define the future of several franchises.
