What will the Los Angeles Angels, Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals do as they follow Washington in the top five? And who will be the biggest steals — and stretches — of Day 1?
Follow along for pick-by-pick coverage, with ESPN MLB experts David Schoenfield and Dan Mullen breaking down everything you need to know about who your favorite team took in the first round as the picks come off the board.
