The first day of the 2025 MLB draft is complete! The Washington Nationals selected Eli Willits with the No. 1 pick, opting for the prep shortstop -- who might be more likely to sign below slot -- in a draft with no clear-cut top prospect. And there were plenty of other intriguing selections as the first three rounds unfolded Sunday night.

There is no tried and true way to "win" the MLB draft. Every team always says it simply picks the best player available, and even those typically need years of training and reps before reaching the majors.
