As the high school and collegiate baseball season rapidly approaches, even as snow is falling throughout a lot of the South, let’s take an early look at the top 30 early-season prospects for the 2025 MLB Draft. The draft was recently changed to a two-day event starting July 13. That is still several months away, but over the course of the next two weeks, teams will be compiling lists similar to this, ranking players in a preseason order to prepare themselves for the travel schedule and where to prioritize looks.<\/p>\n
This draft promises to be an interesting one with no clear cut favorite to go #1 to the Washington Nationals<\/a> at the start of the year, but there is a nice mix of high-end and notable high school players, such as Jackson Holliday<\/a>‘s younger brother Ethan Holliday (OK) and College World Series star Jace LaViolette<\/a> of Texas AM.<\/p>\n This list will change over time as certain players rise and fall, but these are the main names connected to the 2025 MLB Draft heading into the scouting season.<\/p>\n 30 Days \u2018till Opening Day.<\/p>\n Texas A&M\u2019s Jace LaViolette returns as arguably the best slugger in all of college baseball.<\/p>\n Can he lead the Aggies back to Omaha and help guide them to their first National Title in program history? pic.twitter.com\/nOs8fkJJNq<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 SEC Unfiltered (@SECUnfiltered) January 15, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nTier 1 of Early Favorites to Go #1 Overall in the 2025 MLB Draft<\/strong><\/h2>\n
