Major League Baseball’s 2025 draft is finally settled, with the Washington Nationals emerging as the winners of the winter meetings’ lottery. The team will receive the No. 1 pick and is heavily expected to select Oklahoma prep star Ethan Holliday.
Holliday has been considered the top prospect in the class for months and would follow in his brother Jackson’s footsteps, who was drafted first overall by the Baltimore Orioles in 2022.
