ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – The 2025 Major League Baseball Draft will be held during All-Star Week, starting Sunday at 6 p.m. and wrapping up Monday morning before the Home Run Derby.
As usual, the state of Georgia has a plethora of players — high school and college — eligible to be selected during the draft.
According to MLB, “players attending four-year colleges are eligible to be drafted upon completing their junior year or turning 21 years old. Players who have graduated high school but have not attended college are eligible for the Draft, as are those who have completed at least one year of junior college. Players must also be a resident of the United States (U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico apply) or Canada to be eligible for the Draft.”
The Washington Nationals have the first pick. The Atlanta Braves’ first pick is at No. 22. There are 20 rounds in the MLB draft.
