The 2025 MLB Draft is officially underway! Follow along below with our up-to-the-minute updates as Day 1 will cover the first three rounds out of 20 in total.

The Baltimore Orioles lead the way with seven picks in the first three rounds (14 total) and own an MLB record $19,144,500 in bonus pool money, giving them an opportunity that the franchise may never have again. 

Meanwhile, the Washington Nationals will be selecting with the first overall pick for the third time in their franchise's history. Their previous selections at the top spot? Eight-time All-Star Bryce Harper (2010) and former World Series MVP starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (2009).

There were eight players selected from the University of Tennessee in the first three rounds.

All players except one, San Diego Padres 99th overall pick Ryan Wideman (Spain), were born in the USA.
