The Detroit Tigers leaned into selecting late-rising prospects as part of their haul in Day 1 of the 2025 MLB Draft on Sunday. The Tigers began the night picking shortstop Jordan Yost with the No. 24 pick, followed by catcher Michael Oliveto 34th overall, righty Malachi Witherspoon in the second round and lefty Ben Jacobs in the third round.

The Orioles’ first three picks were Auburn catcher/corner outfielder Ike Irish (No. 19), Coastal Carolina catcher Caden Bodine (No. 30) and Wehiwa Aloy (No. 31). The No. 19 pick was the Orioles’ original first-round selection, while Nos. 30 and 31 were compensation for losing Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander in free agency.

Day 1 of the 2025 Draft included the Rockies' picks from Rounds 1-3, including Ethan Holliday at No. 4 overall. Day 2 begins Monday at 9:30 a.m. MT through the conclusion of the Draft, spanning Rounds 4-20.

With the No. 15 overall pick, Boston snagged Oklahoma righty Kyson Witherspoon, a flame-throwing starter with high upside. Reaction to the pick has largely been positive, with multiple pundits stating that Witherspoon was their top-ranked right-handed pitcher in this year’s draft.
