2025 Major League Baseball Signing Bonuses

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, JUL 13 – Eli Willits, a 6-foot-1 switch-hitting shortstop, leads the 2025 MLB Draft as the Washington Nationals' top pick with signing bonuses reaching multimillions, according to MLB reports.

  • The MLB collegiate draft for 2025 was held over July 13-14 in Atlanta, with the Washington Nationals earning the top overall pick after winning the selection lottery.
  • This two-day draft event follows last year's introduction of the lottery system, and the Nationals are navigating uncertainty after parting ways with their general manager earlier this month.
  • The draft featured 20 rounds with over 600 players chosen, and the initial three rounds commenced at 6 p.m. ET Sunday, televised across the country on ESPN and MLB Network.
  • Notable first-round picks included Eli Willits by the Nationals, Tyler Bremner by the Angels, and Kade Anderson by the Mariners, with many prospects expected to develop in the minors.
  • Teams aim to strengthen their farm systems through this event, as drafted players typically spend years developing before reaching the Major Leagues.
