The 2025 MLB draft is here.
Will the Texas Rangers select another college player with the No. 12 pick in the draft? Based on their recent history, that would seem likely, as Texas has selected a college player in the last six drafts.
But the 2025 draft class is full of interesting high school talent that could entice the Rangers to stray from their recent trend of college-heavy drafts. Whichever direction they decide to go, the Rangers will look to keep their nice run of draft picks going in 2025.
