Nationals Secure Top Pick in 2025 MLB Draft Lottery
TL;DR Summary
The Washington Nationals secured the No. 1 pick in the 2025 MLB Draft through the league's Draft Lottery, marking their first top pick since 2010. The lottery system, introduced to discourage tanking, determines the top six picks, with the remaining order based on team standings. The Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees face penalties, having their first-round picks moved back 10 spots due to exceeding the competitive balance tax threshold. The draft order for subsequent rounds will follow the reverse order of the 2024 standings.
