MLB Mock Draft 2025, 2-round edition: Kade Anderson leapfrogs Ethan Holliday as Nationals' No. 1 pick

9 hours ago 1

The MLB Draft doesn't produce immediate results like drafts in some other sports, but that trend may be starting to change when it comes to players drafted out of college.

In the year since the 2024 MLB Draft, five first-round picks have already debuted at the MLB level: Chase Burns (No. 2), Nick Kurtz (No. 4), Jac Caglianone (No. 6), Christian Moore (No. 8), and Cam Smith (No. 14). While the early returns have been mixed, Kurtz and Smith have heated up after finding their footing.

While the total may not be five, some of the players drafted on Sunday will inevitably earn their way to the big leagues within a year. Others, including some of the top high school prospects available, will take some more time — but MLB's next wave of talent is coming, and franchise-changing pieces will be drafted as part of All-Star Weekend.

The Sporting News projects the first two rounds of the 2025 MLB Draft, starting with a crucial decision by the Nationals at No. 1.

MLB Mock Draft 2025

Round 1

1. Nationals

  • Kade Anderson, P, LSU 

For much of the spring two years ago, it looked like the Nationals would happily take Paul Skenes after the Pirates drafted Dylan Crews with the top pick. Then, Skenes surged in the postseason and earned his way up to No. 1. This year, the same switch might be playing out after Kade Anderson dominated in the College World Series.

The Nationals never got the chance to take Skenes, but they don't have to pass up on Anderson, who led the nation in strikeouts with 180 in 119 innings and posted a 3.18 ERA with a pair of complete games. Ethan Holliday could still be the pick, though the pressure is on the Nationals to start producing results as soon as possible after the firings of manager Dave Martinez and GM Mike Rizzo. Anderson could reach the majors by 2026 if his development goes as planned.

2. Angels

  • Liam Doyle, P, Tennessee

Remember when the Angels drafted a pitcher with every single one of their picks in 2021? The situation on the mound might be a bit better now than it was then, but adding controllable pitching should still be the priority for GM Perry Minasian as Zach Neto and Logan O'Hoppe emerge as cornerstones in the lineup. The good news for the Angels is they will have their pick of arms.

Anderson could very well land here and almost certainly will if the Nationals pass on him, but if he's off the board, don't expect Holliday to be the choice. The Angels value college talent and will likely be focusing on pitchers. If it's not Anderson, it could be Doyle. 

Doyle has been one of 2025's fastest risers after transferring from Ole Miss, posting a 3.20 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and 164 strikeouts over 95.2 innings. The Angels are looking for a frontline starter, and Doyle is their best bet even if he comes with some risk.

3. Mariners

  • Jamie Arnold, P, Florida State

Florida State's Jamie Arnold became an early contender for the No. 1 pick with a terrific sophomore season in 2024, and he didn't do much to damage his stock in 2025. While control issues popped up a bit more than they did in 2024, Arnold had a 2.98 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 12.6 strikeouts per nine innings as the ace of the Seminoles' staff.

With some promising bats coming up the pipeline in Seattle, the Mariners can afford to target pitching at No. 3 overall, given who will be available — and Arnold could be on a fast track to the majors if he develops the way many expect. 

4. Rockies

  • Ethan Holliday, SS/3B, Stillwater HS (OK)

Holliday remains in the mix for the top pick, but the Rockies may be his most likely landing spot if the Nationals choose Anderson. Reports have indicated that Holliday isn't expected to come off the board at No. 2 if available, and the Mariners also might favor pitching. That would culminate in a dream scenario for Colorado, which became a second home for Holliday's father, Matt. 

Holliday is three inches taller than his brother, Jackson, and could offer more power as he grows into his frame, with third base his more likely long-term position. With perhaps the highest ceiling of any player in this draft, Holliday might have enough talent to overcome a Rockies development system with a fairly abysmal track record. If Holliday is off the board, it would make sense for the Rockies to take whichever of the top three college arms is still available as they try to dig out a massive hole.

5. Cardinals

  • Eli Willits, SS, Fort Cobb-Broxton HS (OK)

The Cardinals would probably prefer that one of the top college arms fall to this slot, but if that scenario doesn't play out, Willits' upside should be worth the risk. The youngest of the top prep prospects, Willits doesn't even turn 18 until December. He's an excellent contact hitter and is disciplined beyond his years at the plate, with power the lingering question as he develops.

The Cardinals have Masyn Winn at shortstop long-term, but position isn't a concern for a player so many years away from a major league impact.

6. Pirates

  • Aiva Arquette, SS/2B, Oregon State

Oregon State always seems to produce impressive middle infield prospects, and the Beavers have another slam-dunk first-round bat in Hawaiian-born shortstop Aiva Arquette. A transfer from Washington, Arquette mashed in his only season at Oregon State, batting .354 with 19 home runs and a 1.115 OPS. He could land at second base if needed, but his arm is strong enough to play on the left side of the infield.

The Pirates could be intrigued by the upside of prep pitcher Seth Hernandez, who might not even make it to this slot, but they know they need to prioritize bats with Bubba Chandler and Hunter Barco coming up the pipeline to join Paul Skenes in the rotation.

7. Marlins

  • Seth Hernandez, P, Corona HS (CA)

Hernandez is a bit of a wild card in the top 10, which is often the case for high school pitchers. The right-hander could be a contender for second pitcher off the board with his upside, but teams may prioritize safer college arms.

The Marlins need to take swings and aren't anywhere close to contention, so betting on Hernandez's talent would be a wise choice at No. 7. While he's on the older end for high schoolers — he will be 19 by draft day — Hernandez's fastball can touch 97-98 mph, and his changeup already gives him a strong secondary pitch to work with.

8. Blue Jays

  • Kyson Witherspoon, P, Oklahoma

Reports have tied the Blue Jays to college arms, and that makes plenty of sense with the bulk of their rotation on the wrong side of 30. Witherspoon showcased improved control in his final season at Oklahoma, halving his walk rate from 2024 and posting a 2.65 ERA with 124 strikeouts over 95 innings for the Sooners.

With a solid frame, a fastball that can touch 99 mph, and a strong slider, Witherspoon is the leading college right-hander in this draft and a nice value for the Blue Jays at No. 8.

9. Reds

  • Billy Carlson, SS, Corona HS (CA)

A teammate of Seth Hernandez, prep shortstop Billy Carlson ranks firmly among the top high school position players in this draft with his glove leading the way. Carlson's defense at shortstop is his most valuable asset, and any team that banks on being able to develop his bat could wind up with a five-tool prospect.

Carlson is another older high schooler, turning 19 in late July, so he might not be as raw as other high school bats, but the Reds couldn't be blamed for taking a chance here with so many talented pitchers off the board.

10. White Sox

  • JoJo Parker, SS, Purvis HS (MS)

Reports have tied the White Sox to high school shortstops, and Parker is the best one remaining at this point with Carlson off the board. Parker's glove isn't as advanced as Carlson's, but his upside at the plate is higher.

The Mississippi State commit should be a strong contact hitter as he develops, with power being the component that can turn him into a much more complete prospect. Parker's brother, Jacob, is also a notable prospect in this year's draft.

11. Athletics 

  • Ike Irish, C, Auburn

The A's need more pitching in their organization, but they are not in a strong position to take one here with the top arms off the board. The organization simply took who they felt was the best hitter available in each of the past two drafts, and the results have been strong. They can do the same with Irish, who is rising ahead of the draft. 

The Auburn slugger hit .364 with 19 home runs and a 1.179 OPS this season, showcasing improved power. While he could be an outfielder long-term, Irish's bat should make him an option in this range of the first round, if not earlier. 

12. Rangers

  • Steele Hall, SS, Hewitt-Trussville (AL)

Hall might not be the type of power threat the Rangers seem to value in the big leagues, but among the high school shortstops, he has one of the highest ceilings. Hall is a project, but he has significant room to grow with his 18th birthday coming later in June. His athleticism should allow him to stick at shortstop long-term, and his bat is advanced enough for his age that taking him in the first round isn't a massive risk.

Position isn't something the Rangers have to worry much about with a player as young as Hall, but there will come a point in the not-too-distant future that they will need to start thinking younger in the middle infield. 

13. Giants

  • Marek Houston, SS, Wake Forest

Houston steadily improved with each season at Wake Forest, and he flashed some real power for the first time this past season with 15 home runs along with a .354 AVG and 1.055 OPS for the Demon Deacons.

While the sustainability of that power is unclear, Houston is considered a terrific defensive shortstop and has enough four- or even five-tool potential to become the Giants' second consecutive first-round college bat.

14. Rays

  • Daniel Pierce, SS, Mill Creek HS (GA)

Six of the Rays' past seven first-round picks, including competitive balance picks, have been high schoolers, and their past six first-rounders overall have been position players. Tampa Bay seems to be sticking to a strategy of taking swings on high-upside bats at the top of the draft while finding and developing pitching through other means. If that's the case, prep shortstop Daniel Pierce is an intriguing option.

The Georgia commit has some of the best speed in this draft, and his contact skills are impressive. The power is a wild card, as it is for many high school hitters, but the Rays will hope their development system can turn Pierce into a complete prospect.

15. Red Sox

  • Brendan Summerhill, OF, Arizona

The Red Sox have plenty of young bats coming up the pipeline and could look toward Tyler Bremner or another pitcher here, but Summerhill would be a terrific value in the middle of the first round.

The Arizona standout struggled in the College World Series and didn't flash much power with the Wildcats, but he hit .343 with a 1.015 OPS this season despite hitting only four home runs. If the Red Sox can trust their development system to get some more power out of Summerhill's bat, then improvement in that department plus his excellent contact skills can make him a surefire MLB contributor down the line.

16. Twins

  • Wehiwa Aloy, SS, Arkansas

A Sacramento State transfer, Aloy broke through in his second season at Arkansas, batting .350 with 21 home runs and a 1.107 OPS while helping the Razorbacks reach the College World Series. While strikeouts have popped up as an issue at times, Aloy has some of the most advanced power of any infielder in this draft and has flashed improved bat-to-ball skills in 2025.

Whether Aloy sticks at shortstop or moves to another infield position is a question, but he could be a fast riser — and the Twins need to focus on taking the best available player as long as they are shying away from spending money to bring in talent from outside the organization. 

17. Cubs

  • Tyler Bremner, UC Santa Barbara

The Cubs have taken exactly one high schooler in the first round since 2013, so the direction Chicago is likely to go is clear. Tennessee infielder Gavin Kilen could also be an option here if he's still on the board, but Bremner is a strong value at No. 17 and fits what the Cubs have looked for in past drafts.

The UC Santa Barbara ace saw his ERA jump from 2.54 in 2024 to 3.49 in 2025, but the peripherals don't offer much concern. His strikeout rate improved to 12.9 per nine, and he only allowed five home runs while keeping his walk rate roughly where it was. Even if he couldn't fully deliver on expectations in 2025, Bremner should land somewhere in this range.

18. Diamondbacks

  • Slater de Brun, OF, Summit HS (OR)

With Bremner off the board, the only college arm that might make sense for Arizona here is Gage Wood. That's a possibility, but it's hard to ignore the comparisons between de Brun and Corbin Carroll. Carroll was drafted out of high school as an undersized sparkplug from the Pacific Northwest. That fits the profile of de Brun. 

De Brun is just 5-10, so his frame might limit the kind of power he can hit for at the professional level. Outside of power, the tools are all there. de Brun's speed is valuable both on the basepath and in the outfield, and his contact ability should translate well to the next level. Carroll's power tool came along well in Arizona's system, so the Diamondbacks could opt to trust their development efforts and take a chance on de Brun a bit earlier than most projects. 

19. Orioles

  • Jace LaViolette, OF, Texas A&M

At this point in the draft, someone is going to be tantalized by LaViolette's power — and the Orioles, who have valued power in recent drafts, are a safe bet. 

LaViolette is one of the most intriguing players in the draft, as a dominant sophomore season with 29 home runs in 68 games initially put him in the No. 1 pick discussion before a tougher 2025 season sank his stock. LaViolette still posted a 1.003 OPS with 18 home runs, but he hit only .258 and added to swing-and-miss concerns with a strikeout rate north of 25 percent.

20. Brewers

  • Gavin Kilen, 2B, Tennessee

The Brewers might be intrigued by Gage Wood here, but Kilen is a strong value at No. 20 for a franchise that seems to have an easier time developing pitchers than hitters. Milwaukee relies on homegrown bats, and Kilen can quickly become one for the Brewers. 

The Louisville transfer excelled in his first season in the SEC, batting .357 with 15 home runs and a 1.112 OPS. While the sustainability of Kilen's power is a question, he's shown enough growth to be an option for teams picking in the middle of the first round.

21. Astros

  • Caden Bodine, C, Coastal Carolina

The Astros have stayed in the college ranks in the first round since 2017. While ending Kayson Cunningham's slide is an option here, Bodine's stock has risen to the point that he seems likely to come off the board in this range. 

A driving force behind Coastal Carolina's run to the College World Series finals, Bodine never flashed much power at the collegiate level but has terrific contact ability with a .337 AVG and .968 OPS over three seasons with the Chanticleers. Bodine's defensive skills behind the plate help elevate him into a first-round prospect, and he is someone the Astros could take a chance on at No. 21.

22. Braves

  • Gage Wood, P, Arkansas 

Wood didn't enter the College World Series with the numbers of a first-round pick, sitting on an ERA of 5.02, but he quickly offered a reminder of why he was in the first-round conversation with a historic 19-strikeout no-hitter of Murray State. Teams often value tools over production, and Wood has the tools to be a frontline starter if the rest comes together.

Wood had a ridiculous 16.5 strikeout per nine rate, and he's kept walks limited with only 1.7 per nine innings in 2025. He will be an option in this range, if not earlier. Yes, he was hit around by the SEC, but his dominant close left an unmistakable impression.

The top of the Braves' farm system is loaded with arms, so it wouldn't be surprising to see a bat come off the board here, but Wood's upside might be too high to pass up.

23. Royals

  • Kruz Schoolcraft, P, Sunset HS (OR)

Every high school pitcher is a project, but Schoolcraft comes with tantalizing potential. He comes with a massive 6-8 frame and 97-mph fastball, two major assets for whichever team gets the opportunity to develop him. The Tennessee commit is also an impressive hitter, but it's his arm that is expected to make him a first-round pick as long as he's willing to pass on the Volunteers.

The Royals haven't used their top pick on a college prospect in back-to-back years in more than a decade, so it could be time to roll with a more developmental prospect after taking Jac Caglianone in 2024. 

24. Tigers

  • Xavier Neyens, 3B, Mount Vernon HS (WA)

The Tigers have taken a high school bat with each of their first two first-round picks since Scott Harris was hired to lead baseball operations, and Neyens could be a strong enough value at No. 24 to make it three years in a row. Set to turn 19 in October, Neyens is easily one of the best power-hitting high school bats in the draft, supported by his 6-4 frame.

While he might not be the most athletic high school position player, he could offer teams in the late first round an advanced left-handed bat with the kind of arm that can allow him to stick at third base even at his size.

25. Padres

  • Kayson Cunningham, 2B/SS, Johnson HS (TX)

A.J. Preller absolutely loves drafting high schoolers, and it's hard to blame him with the way a few — Jackson Merrill, CJ Abrams, and MacKenzie Gore — have panned out. Cunningham, who was initially projected to come off the board in the early-to-mid portion of the first round, would be a nice coup at this stage. 

The Padres would be adding a high-upside contact bat to their system if they take Cunningham. His bat-to-ball skills are his best asset, but how much his power can come along is a question. At just 5-10, he doesn't have a frame to grow into that will allow him to naturally hit for more power. Still, it will be tough for teams in this range to pass on such an advanced contact bat out of the high school ranks.

26. Phillies 

  • Josh Hammond, 3B, Wesleyan Christian HS (NC)

A bit of a late riser, Hammond still has plenty of work ahead in his development, but he doesn't offer many obvious flaws. With intriguing power and a strong arm that should allow him to land at third base and play it well, Hammond could be the type of high school prospect the Phillies like to gamble on in the first round.

Notably, Hammond has also impressed as a pitcher in high school. A two-way future isn't likely, but could focusing solely on hitting turn him into an even more complete bat? There is enough upside here to make Hammond a legitimate option in the 20-30 range. 

27. Guardians

  • Ethan Conrad, OF, Wake Forest

The second Wake Forest hitter off the board, Conrad isn't as much of a sure thing as most other college prospects in this range. He transferred up from Marist ahead of 2025 but only played 21 games for the Demon Deacons before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. In those 21 games, he looked quite comfortable.

Conrad hit .372 with seven home runs and a 1.238 OPS, briefly showcasing more power than he displayed at Marist. A speedy player who can cover plenty of ground in the outfield, Conrad would be an interesting pickup for a Guardians team that needs to take some swings to stay competitive with a low payroll.

Prospect promotion incentive picks

28. Royals

  • Gavin Fien, 3B, Great Oak HS (CA)

Continuing the theme of high school selections for the Royals, Fien has seen his stock slip slightly leading up to the draft, but he remains a contender to come off the board in the 20s. 

While production concerns this spring are worth keeping in mind, Fien has the tools to be one of the best all-around hitters in this draft class. How his power develops figures to dictate how quickly he can develop at the professional level, but Fien's lack of true weaknesses among his tools should make him a top-40 pick in July. 

Compensation picks

29. Diamondbacks

  • Patrick Forbes, P, Louisville

Just as Gage Wood's stuff will matter more to teams than his production, Louisville's Patrick Forbes fits the same mold. The junior posted a 4.42 ERA with the Cardinals this season, but he carries a terrific 14.8 strikeout per nine ratio and has done a decent job of limiting hits throughout his college career.

If a major-league team can get Forbes' control settled down, he could quickly develop into an MLB option. With Slater de Brun in their grasp already in this scenario, the Diamondbacks could use a high-upside arm and will have to trust their development system to get the most out of Forbes. 

30. Orioles

  • Aaron Watson, P, Trinity Christian HS (FL)

Watson's signability might be a concern, as he has a solid commitment to Virginia, but the Orioles are in position in this scenario to go under-slot with Jace LaViolette and spend a bit more on Watson at No. 30 to lure him to Baltimore.

The 6-5 Watson doesn't flash the same kind of velocity as some of the other top high school arms in this draft, but he's more advanced than most pitchers his age and has impressive control. The Orioles could use an influx of young arms, and that process can start with Watson.

31. Orioles

  • Sean Gamble, 2B/OF, IMG Academy (FL)

The Orioles are going back-to-back here, and they see an intriguing prospect fall into their lap with Gamble. Born in Iowa, Gamble is an impressive contact hitter with enough raw power to develop into a complete bat. Versatility is also a plus, as Gamble could wind up at second base, shortstop, or the outfield. Selecting Gamble in this scenario would give the Orioles a college bat, high school arm, and high school bat with their first three picks. 

32. Brewers

  • Devin Taylor, OF, Indiana

In this range of the draft, it might not be worth overthinking Taylor's offensive ability. While there are concerns about his defense and athleticism, the Indiana slugger did nothing but hit with the Hoosiers, posting an OPS north of 1.000 in each of his three collegiate seasons and posting his best all-around campaign in 2025 with a .374 AVG, 18 home runs, and 1.200 OPS. With Gavin Kilen already in their pocket, Taylor gives the Brewers another legitimately impressive bat at No. 32.

Competitive Balance Round A

33. Red Sox

  • Zach Root, P, Arkansas

The second Arkansas pitcher off the board, Root didn't post the same peripheral numbers as Wood but navigated a loaded SEC well, carrying a 3.62 ERA and allowing only seven home runs over 99.1 innings with a strikeout rate of 11.4 per nine. Root already has an advanced curveball, which made a habit of missing bats in his final season with the Razorbacks. If the rest can come together, Root could slot in as a mid-rotation MLB starter down the line. 

34. Tigers

  • Luke Stevenson, C, North Carolina

Much like LaViolette, Stevenson comes with real strikeout concerns but flashed enough power and on-base ability at North Carolina to make himself a likely first-round pick. The Tar Heels catcher hit only .251 this season, but he belted 19 home runs in 61 games and still posted a .414 OBP with the help of 59 walks.

Stevenson's potential to stick at catcher also elevates his stock, as a power-hitting catcher can be more valuable than a power-hitting outfielder. Still, the holes in his offensive game could be enough to drop him out of the first round. The Tigers, who already selected Neyens in this scenario, can afford to take the chance on Stevenson's advanced power. 

35. Mariners

  • Andrew Fischer, 1B/3B, Tennessee

Fischer still has a legitimate chance to come off the board in the first round, but if he gets to this point, it will be tough for the Mariners to pass. The former Duke and Ole Miss standout has hit everywhere he's been, and he only improved in his lone season with Tennessee, batting .341 with 25 home runs and a 1.257 OPS. While Fischer's lack of athleticism could put him over at first base, his bat could make him a quick riser in an MLB team's system.

36. Twins

  • Anthony Eyanson, P, LSU

Right there at the forefront of LSU's pitching staff during the program's national title run was Eyanson next to Kade Anderson, and the right-hander now looks like he could come off the board just outside of the first round. Eyanson posted a 3.00 ERA with 152 strikeouts after transferring from UC San Diego, though control issues popped up at times. His ceiling isn't nearly as high as Anderson's, but Eyanson has shown enough to hear his name called in the 30-45 range of the draft. 

37. Rays

  • Riley Quick, P, Alabama 

The Rays have plenty of faith in their ability to get the most out of pitchers, and who can blame them? Just look at how much of an impact Drew Rasmussen and Zack Littell have had this season. Quick, who had a 3.92 ERA in 2025 after missing nearly all of 2024 at Alabama, is going to need some fine-tuning, but he's shown an ability to miss bats and only allowed six home runs in 87 collegiate innings. Now healthy, Quick can work with Tampa Bay's development system to take his impressive stuff and make it more consistent.

38. Mets

  • Max Belyeu, OF, Texas

Belyeu broke through in 2024, batting .329 with 18 home runs and a 1.090 OPS, and he was on a similar trajectory in 2025 before a fractured thumb interrupted his season. While there are defensive questions about his range, Belyeu boasts a strong arm and should stick in a corner outfield role.

The first round isn't out of the question for Belyeu, but the more likely range for his bat falls here — and the Mets could take another swing at an outfielder with Ryan Clifford and Drew Gilbert both struggling in the minors.

39. Yankees

  • JB Middleton, P, Southern Miss 

Middleton enjoyed a breakthrough season in his first year as a starter at Ole Miss, posting a stellar 2.31 ERA over 105.1 innings. While he might not miss bats as often as other arms in this range, he limited opponents to just 5.6 hits per nine innings and flashed impressive command. The result was a dominant 0.85 WHIP. It's fair to question whether his frame holds up and allows him to be a starter long-term, but Middleton should fit somewhere on a major-league pitching staff.

40. Dodgers

  • Quentin Young, 3B/OF, Oaks Christian HS (CA)

Young, the nephew of former big leaguers Delmon and Dmitri Young, comes with the kind of upside the Dodgers regret not tapping into with Yordan Alvarez. At 6-6, Young boasts some of the best power of any high school bat in this draft. His frame not only supports his power, but it also gives him an impressive outfield arm.

Whichever team lands Young will have to work on his bat-to-ball skills, as contact is the concern, but he has the kind of raw power that will intrigue teams that believe in their development system. 

41. Dodgers

  • Cam Cannarella, OF, Clemson

After taking a big swing on Young, the Dodgers can roll with a safer prospect in Clemson's Cam Cannarella. The outfielder hit better than .335 in each of his three seasons with the Tigers, struggling to flash consistent power but still posting a 1.010 OPS in 2025. There is no doubt Cannarella will make consistent contact with the ball and likely steal some bases, too, but it would be on the Dodgers' development system to turn him into a more complete player.

42. Rays

  • Tate Southisene, SS, Basic Academy (NV)

The Rays tend to stick with high schoolers early in the draft, so it would be a surprise if Quick was followed up by anyone other than a prep prospect in this scenario. Southisene has a fairly small frame, but he brings impressive speed to the table in addition to solid power. The Rays will look to keep Southisene away from his commitment to USC if they pluck him at No. 42. 

43. Marlins

  • Alex Lodise, SS, Florida State

Lodise did his best to put some strikeout concerns to rest in 2025, jumping from a .281 AVG to .394 while dropping his strikeout rate from 25.1 percent to an even 20 percent. He mashed 17 home runs with an OPS of 1.168 for the Seminoles in 2025, building on a tepid first season in Tallahassee. The Marlins would have to work carefully to close the caps in Lodise's swing, but his production and year-to-year improvement should make him either a Competitive Balance Round A or high second-round prospect.
