ATLANTA — A slew of left-handed pitchers, a handful of organizations ready to chart a new course and shortstops, shortstops and more shortstops: All are ready to fly off the board when Major League Baseball’s 2025 draft tips off tonight at 6 p.m. ET. 

Coverage will be provided by ESPN and MLB Network and it will begin with commissioner Rob Manfred stepping to the podium inside the Battery’s Roxy Theater to announce the Washington Nationals’ first selection. 

The Nationals won the draft lottery in December and since then have been favored to select Oklahoma prep shortstop Ethan Holliday, son of All-Star Matt Holliday and brother of Jackson Holliday, the No. 1 overall pick by the Baltimore Orioles in 2022. 

The Hollidays would join NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning as the only brothers to each be drafted first overall.

Yet a rush of college standouts have threatened Holliday’s standing, led by LSU left-hander Kade Anderson, who pitched the Tigers to the national title featuring a majors-ready mix of several pitchers. 

His SEC rival, lefty Liam Doyle and Holliday’s friend and Oklahoma high school cohort Eli Willits are all expected to go within the first five to seven picks. 

The first three rounds of the draft – including compensation picks – will be conducted Sunday before rounds 4 through 20 are held away from the TV cameras Monday.

The 2025 Major League Baseball draft begins at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 13
