Is it ever truly too early to speculate about the MLB draft? Prospects Live has dropped their first 2025 mock draft, and it’s already sparking some serious debate. While acknowledging the inherent uncertainty this far out, they've taken a stab at predicting the first 27 picks. Do you think they’re on the right track with Jace Laviolette to the Nationals at number one? Or is another prospect more deserving of the top spot this early?
It's particularly interesting to see how they factor in the luxury tax penalties impacting teams like the Mets, Yankees, and Dodgers. How much of a shake-up will this cause in the later rounds? And with teams like the Rays, Brewers, and Orioles holding multiple early picks, what kind of draft strategies might we see unfold? Could they target high-ceiling, high-risk players, or opt for a more balanced approach?
This mock draft also highlights some intriguing names to watch. Players like Ethan Holliday, son of Matt Holliday, and several promising shortstops and outfielders are scattered throughout the first round. Which prospects are you most excited about, and who do you think has the potential to become a future star? Let the discussions begin!
